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.

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.
