Francisco Forquera is listed as a tango dancer in a video-oriented listing. The available material consists only of partnership records and gives no biographical details, dates or descriptions of performances.

The source names twelve dancers associated with Forquera as partners. Eleven of these records list Forquera as the partnering dancer, and one lists Julio Duplaa as partnering with Forquera.
