Talking about musicality and dancing tango to non-tango music.

Dancers agree, and it was said here that musicality is an art of "matching
dancing to music".

Of course, a ballerina can dance to pop-music. No problem. 
But would it be INTERESTING to her?
Would it be MUSICAL ? In terms of matching her advanced dancing skill to the
less than advanced rhythms?

If it works one way, it should work another way. 
For a great dance the music must match the abilities of dancers.

Nothing else can match the abilities of the advanced tango dancers like
advanced tango music.

So, it works in both ways.
