Tango "Doble Frente" o "Al reves" is a historical way of dancing .
I personally never saw a couple dancing a whole tango 'Doble frente', it is
used in exhibitions and only for a moment during the Exhibition Tango.
Actually normally the dancer starts a tango, milonga or vals with the usual
position for the embrace, at certain time he switches to a 'doble frente
position',
executes a few figures in that position and then returns to the normal tango
embrace.
The figures that one executes in doble frente are the same as the ones we use
with our regular embrace.
Walks, paradas, arrastres o barridas, amagues, boleos, sacadas, cadenas, free
turns are frequently used to go in and out of the doble frente.
I have danced myself in this fashion a few times.
Summary: Doble frente has been used as any other tango figure during an
exhibition. If you wish to use it in any other way, by all means do it, and
have fun.
Best regards, Sergio
