Grabbing bits from other styles of dance...

Does anyone do this? For instance, I'm looking through a number of videos on YouTube of Zouk, and thinking to myself "you know, some of this stuff might look pretty darn good in a Samba".
 
I am a beginner dancer so I can't comment personally -- but there's some argument to be made that there's a crossover already happening:

Zouk itself has fused with Lambada in Brazil creating Zouk-Lambada, a fairly popular style (see the wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zouk-Lambada

And Lambada draws on samba:

"The word lambada refers both to the rhythm - a fusion of Carimbó and merengue - and to the dance, which incorporates elements of forró, samba, merengue and Maxixe (the 19th century Brazilian dance which was a tremendous success in Europe)." (source: http://www.danzalatina.co.nz/lambada-history.html)

So I don't see why not...
