It's not a travel because it doesn't involve feet moving. It's not an illegal dribble because it's not a dribble at all: the ball is never released.
If you have seen it called illegal, then you've seen an official who thinks that ugly or unusual must be illegal.
That's not a sound officiating philosophy: no rule prohibits the action you describe.
