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 general public audience. 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. He is the creator of prestigious Tango events,in North AmericaTango Joven Festival 2006-2007, Chicago Tango Week 2008-2009, Miami Beach Tango Marathon 2010 and Burak's Tango Week 2010. He also co-founded the ARTango Center in Chicago. Although he is based in Chicago, he frequently tours US and Canada for teaching, djing and dancing. www.tangoeclectique.com www.miamitangomarathon.com www.burakstangoweeek.com
