B Correct answer
Explanation

The error is using 'on the beats' instead of 'to the beats.' When describing dancing to music, the correct preposition is 'to,' not 'on.' We dance 'to' the beat/rhythm/music, indicating movement in synchronization with it. 'On' would suggest dancing atop the beats physically, which makes no sense. The correct phrase should be 'dancing to the beats of the traditional dhol.'
