agree JudyK : if literal meaning required. If figurative, perhaps "to dance to the tune" would be better

to toe the line

Si lo quieres en sentido figurado de "obedecer", esto es lo que dice el Diccionario Oxford:

son m
bailar al son de la música que me/te/le tocan: (literal) to dance to the (sound of the) music; (obedecer) to toe the line.

En el DRAE da esta definición de la frase:
bailar alguien al son que le tocan.
1. fr. coloq. Acomodar la conducta propia a los tiempos y circunstancias.
