He is a popular and attentive teacher. His current focus is to develop Tango Nuevo analysis methods and to understand and teach the essence of Argentine Tango more effectively to younger generations. Though he is considered a virtuoso of "Tango Nuevo", in his dancing Burak is not adding anything new or "modern" to Tango. Every movement he uses is taken strictly from the Tango vocabulary. He respects the music and responds in the traditional places; his syncopa, or rhythm, is flawless. What he does is deconstruct the usual tango marcado (marking) and reconstruct it in his own surprising way. Burak's nontraditional use of the vocabulary prompts curiosity, and inspiration for other dancers."
