What is meant by "dancing through the music"?

I've recently been told that I go from dancing "with" the music to dancing "through" the music mid-performance and back again. What is the difference and how can I keep it on the "with" side of performing?

    Dancing through the movement is like contemporary. You get that sudden feel and the next thing you know you're letting the music move you (which is a good thing). To stay WITH the music, just concentrate on your steps and beats and stay on tempo.

    Dancing with the music is good for tap and jazz or any dance form where the beat is of utmost importance. Dancing through the music is often used in classical ballet and the dancer lags slightly behind or is in front of the music for a lot of the time, it is meant to be more expressive and less predictable and therefor less boring. But it is up to the choreographer as to weather you dance through the music or with the music.

    its when you feel the melody and the beat of the music and just going along with it (dancing)
