In Spanish when you ask a question you put the preposition at the beginning of the sentence. The A is the prep.
The answer will have "A" ...Voy "Al" mercado.... Voy "A" la biblioteca...
another example would be...
¿De dónde eres? - where are you from... "DE" is the preposition and goes at the beginning
the answer will have the prep too..
Soy de irlanda, Soy de (where ever)
¿Con qiuén hablas? - who are you talking to (with)
Con María - with maría (con being the prep)

It is a preposition, most commonly denoted as "to." In this case, your question means "To where do you go to dance?"
