Regarding the Hungarian segment, Hungarian does have some Turkish borrowed words, but the structure shows it to be related to the Finno-Ugric languages. They were not a Turkic tribe. You say that the Kanásztánc was not introduced in North America, but Andor Czompo’s Karádi Konásztánc was one of the first dances he introduced years ago. The kanásztánc belongs to the some old layer dances as úgrós. What distinguishes an Úgrós is the the bouncy character defined by the music, which is, as Bartók used to say, in tempo giusto: the 2/4 time has the emphasis on the first beat, with other the “off beat”. The csárdás has the emphasis on every beat, until the music gets fast. The reason some of the examples seem to be confusing is that they are from the Mezõség in Transylvania, a much older layer couple dance. Although they will sometimes use the word “csárdás”, the various parts of the dance cycles from Transylvania usually use other terms. One of the venues showing this was at the “Dance House festival”, and everyone was doing what in North America is called “Mezõsegi”. The people there were from folk dance clubs in Hungary proper, western Europe, and the US & Canada (I was there myself one year). The last YouTube was various scenes taken from one of the Táncház festivals held every April or May in Budapest. Since there is a sizeable Slavic minority in Hungary, there are several village and folk revival groups that do Slavic dances, and it has been popular in recent years for them to do Serbian dances in a Serbian costume not found traditionally in Hungary (hence the segment with Užičko Kolo. For more on that, look up recordings by the groups Vujecsics, Rece Fice, or Vizin.
