"El Turco is recognized for his creative and expressive style and his bold
and sensitive interpretations of both traditional tango music and the
eclectic, non-traditional music that he incorporates into his d.j. and
instructional repertoire. 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."
