What Igor writes is correct, but I have seen many, many leaders--including 
some who teach tango for a living--who dance exactly the same way to every 
piece of music by every orchestra.  There is also a follower's counterpart 
to this.  That is, using the same embellishments with the same timing 
regardless of the music.
