English term or phrase: dance to

"...where the masters of the universe play the tune that both political parties and the media dance to."

I realize that ending a setence with the word "to" is grammitcally incorrect - nonetheless, this is the way that people speak. I'm unsure how best to translate this into Portuguese.

Thanks!
