[Tango-L] Tango 'Al Reves'

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

I just happen to have gotten an email today about a book by Gustavo Benzecry Sabá on tango dance terms (prefaces by Juan Carlos Copes and Gavito).  Here's a page from the book with the al reves position.

As Brick pointed out, it's not new.  What may be new is the extent of it being used in the upcoming performance.  By specifying a performance with "Tango Al Reves" rather than just a tango performance, the dancers are recognizing that this is a particular style they are doing.  I'd rather they do that than call an entire performance in al reves just a regular tango performance.

 I just saw an ad for a special 'Al Reves' performance of Arg. Tango in the milonga near my home town in the States...I suppose that we can all imagine/guess at what 'Al Reves' means....a new twist to the traditional dance...
