Weeelll... there are some tracks that are both Latin (salsa / rumba / cha-cha)-able, and MJ-able - such as, obviously, Mambo No. 5, and Santana's Smooth.
For example, last night In the middle of a (truly awesome) set at Finchley, I happened to notice a certain person doing some serious cha-cha on the dance floor. Another example; Susie and hubbie did an awe-inspiringly good tango at the Big Fat Friday whatsit last week, I didn't see anyone complaining then. Clapping, yes; bowing down, indeed (that was me
), but certainly not complaining.
My view is, as long as it doesn't take up excessive space, you should dance any way you damned well want to. Having said that, some ballroom dances do take up space, so if you're going to do them, you need to take extra care over your space management skills.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen this... It would, I think, look very very strange. MJ can absorb anything, that's it's strength. Latin, ballroom, etc. - not so much...
