Recently a member posted a link with the MySpace of his former guitar teacher and I really liked and could be self-explaned of the topic you're talking about.

Of course you can play and place a guitar in any style but you have to be very creative, this guy Tim Scott among others like Joy Basu and Dave Martone included some dance elements into their music.
Also listen to Justin Timberlake and N'Sync, Greg Howe used to play with them and I think they qualify to the Dance-Pop style and the guitars really rock.

Let me know if this answers your question

Hehe, keep following your own style, gaby ^^

If done right, dance music with guitars can be quite good!

Hehe Tim Scott! That'd be my old teacher

and on the topic of Dave Martone - absolutely incredible technique and some very good melodies in his song writing. Bossa Dorado for example
