Dancing "with" the music?
I know we usually say "I am dancing to the music" but my student asked me if "dancing 'with' the music" is correct. I don't think it is but I just want to make sure. Thanks for helping!

"Dancing with the music" is not incorrect English, but it's not very idiomatic in normal situations. A native speaker might, unusually, use "with" -- to me it has a slightly different nuance which is hard to explain -- but normally you should stick to "to".
