I agree with you, in my experience teaching salsa students who had martial arts experience had very good body control and often did much better than others.

However one aspect that is missing in martial arts or yoga is musicality, i.e. in addition to synchronising with your own body and a partner you also need to synchronise to the music. This is one aspect that some of the aforementioned students struggled with, if they did not have previous other experience with music.
