Michelle, prepositions are weird and wonderful words. They often have more than one meaning, and can be used quite differently in English and French.
‘… danser sur de la musique…. ‘ is correct. The English translation is given in the exercise if you click on the phrase - ‘ … (to) dance to music …’
See example for definition 3 for ‘danser’ in Larousse link - ‘ mouvoir le corps en cadence ‘ :
