Music inspires and defines the dance.

If DJ were to play a kizomba in a dance hall (at "milonga"???) I would
be delighted
to watch people dancing kizomba. As far as I can see it is a graceful dance,
which fits that particular music well.

When polka is played in a dance hall, dance polka (

? if you were to try to dance tango to polka music, no one would try
to stop you (I think), but, frankly,
you would look silly.

And of course, if the DJ were to play AC/DC people could dance the
'Rock'n roll is not pollution'
dance ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OplUFeukicY ). Again I would
watch, and if the fit is good, might even admire the style, but rather
dance tango, as someone on this list keeps saying.
