I'm Burak, and I'm a Tango Evangelist

I’m not just a teacher, DJ, or event organizer, but a passionate advocate and ambassador for tango, spreading its cultural and artistic value far and wide. 

What makes me different is my holistic approach to tango, combining tradition with innovation. Whether I’m teaching, DJing, or producing, your work is defined by a deep understanding of tango’s essence, a focus on the social and practical elements, and a passion for creating meaningful connections—both on and off the dance floor.

what makes me different

the tango codes I live by

Respect for Tradition

“Honor the past while embracing the future.”
I uphold the deep-rooted traditions of tango, ensuring that the music, dance, and culture are preserved in their authentic form. At the same time, I encourage dancers to explore new interpretations while remaining respectful of tango’s history.

Connection Over Perfection

“Tango is a conversation, not a performance.”
I believe that the essence of tango lies in the connection between partners, not in executing perfect steps. Whether I’m teaching or dancing, I focus on fostering a strong, genuine connection between dancers, where emotion and presence are valued over technical perfection.

Inclusivity and Accessibility

“Tango is for everyone.”
As a Tango Evangelist, I’m committed to making tango accessible to people from all walks of life. I break down barriers by offering virtual lessons, personalized coaching, and group workshops, ensuring that anyone who wants to experience the magic of tango can do so.

Musicality and Expression

“Dance the music, not just the steps.”
I emphasize the importance of musicality in tango, teaching dancers to interpret the music and express themselves through it. I believe that every dancer should feel free to respond to the music in their own way while maintaining respect for its rhythm and structure.

Continuous Learning and Growth

“Tango is a lifelong journey.”
I live by the code that tango is a dance of constant evolution—both for the individual dancer and the art form itself. I encourage dancers to continually seek improvement, not only in their technique but also in their understanding of tango as a cultural and social experience.

Authenticity and Self-Expression

“Be true to yourself within the structure of tango.”
I encourage dancers to find their own voice within the tango vocabulary, exploring their personal style while respecting the dance’s fundamentals. I believe that authenticity is key to a fulfilling tango experience, both as a dancer and an instructor.

Community and Sharing

“Tango is about connection, not isolation.”
Whether through organizing events, festivals, or simply sharing a tanda on the dance floor, I believe in building and nurturing the tango community. I create spaces where people can come together, share their passion for tango, and grow as dancers and individuals.

Mindfulness and Presence

“Every moment in tango is unique.”
I believe that true mastery of tango comes from being fully present in each dance. I teach dancers to embrace the flow of the moment, cultivating mindfulness that allows them to be attuned to their partner, the music, and the atmosphere around them.

Generosity in Sharing Knowledge

“The spirit of tango is passed from one dancer to another.”
I am committed to sharing your knowledge and passion for tango with others, understanding that the art form thrives when passed on generously. Whether through teaching, DJing, or organizing events, I see myself as a bridge, helping others to discover and fall in love with tango, just as I have.
