A bit more about Burak:

Burak combines social dancing with teaching in different cities, organizing tango events, and DJ-ing. Burak 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 DJ-ing and instructional repertoire. He is a milonga evangelist, and recently developed an online milonga training program. Burak’s performances are always warmly accepted and loved for their expressive creativity, wittiness and playfulness.
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 and reconstruct it in his own surprising way. Burak’s non-traditional use of the vocabulary prompts curiosity and inspiration for other dancers.

Burak is an attentive teacher who were invited to several cities and international festivals to teach, perform and Dj. He is the creator of several prestigious tango events in the United States, such as the Tango Joven Festival 2006-2007, Chicago Tango Week 2008-2009, and the Miami Beach Tango Marathon 2010.He is the co-founder of Montréal's famous Tango Social Club and one of the organizers of Bailongo Montréal 2016 edition. He holds a PhD in Experimental Surgery from McGill University.
 

Hope that you can join us,
