Tango "al reves" (also called tango "in shadow position") is a dance technique
invented in the 1960's by the milonguero Arturito, and developed by such
luminaries as Antonio Todaro, Raul Bravo and Pupi Castelo. It is dancing with
the man and woman both facing in the same direction, the man directly behind
her. The man communicates through contact with her back, his left hand on her
left hand, and his right hand on her stomach. Dancers usually slip in and out
of tango al reves from regular dance position to add variety and dynamism to
their dancing. You can learn to enjoy this "new" technique -- now 50 years old
-- in a series of special workshops led by Pxx Bxx and xxxx
...
I guess tahgo as a social dance where a frontal embrace can be enjoyed is
something soon to be an ancient fad.
