Dance to the Tunes


Explanation:
This has to be a bit creative as per below:

1. Dance to the Tunes.
2. Lets, Dance to the Tunes.

This seems as this has only to be used during entertainment. During entertainment or say by any DJ on mike the easiest way to say "dhoom machale dhoom" is Comoon everybody !! Let's Dance to the Music !!!
