Virtue and Moirs SP music should not qualify as a Latin origin. Just because it is modified to have the beats to Rhumba, it shouldnt be considered as Latin American Rhythms.
Latin origin is different from Latin rhythms. Dancers can perform any of the ballroom dances to non-Latin music so long as it matches the specified beat of the Latin selection. And I believe ice dancers choosing different kinds of music to traditional ballroom is a very good thing, lending more room for choreography and interpretation.
I mean, one of my favorite short dances is Gilles and Poirier's waltz to the Beatles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVR6lnGLM58
