 klezkamp, that Bulgar was learned from Tsunye Rymer from the Ukraine/Bronx.
 Rymer also danced a khosidl as a slow, solo improvisational dance as
 Beregovsky described it. - Itzik

Sanna and Mars Longden of Chicago also learned most of their traditional 
Jewish  dances (including the Bulgar) from Michael.  They have often lamented 
to him that he should provide recordings of the music to go with the dances, 
because there are so few correct ones available.
