Definition
To move your body in time with the music, a rhythm, or a specific song. Often used to talk about what kind of music someone moves to.
Usage & Nuances
Often used with types of music or specific songs ('dance to jazz', 'dance to this song'). Not the same as just 'dance'—'dance to' always specifies what is playing. Sometimes figurative: 'dance to someone’s tune' means act according to someone else's wishes.
