Yes... up to the point where it is not.

I've seen moves in workshops calling themselves "tango nuevo" that anyone 
else would call rock and roll e.g. partners swinging apart to the limit of 
arms' reach, connected by just hands, and then pulling back together again.

This is the kind of thing that happens when a instructor finds a $$$ 
opportunity amongst students who don't know what tango is, but still will 
pay for more of it.

If you say "this is all tango", then you rob the word tango of any useful 
meaning.
