What is BD-TV?

Belly Dance Television is a video news magazine which is available on DVD. Think of it as a magazine that you watch instead of read. Rather than static images and printed words, you get to see the dancers move and hear their music. By experiencing the added dimension of motion, you can connect with the performers and better understand their emotional responses. In addition to facts, the energy Hosted by Paulinafrom each dancer and each event is revealed, giving the viewer a richer, more comprehensive connection with the story.

This program is NOT broadcast on any channel or cable system - it is only available on DVD. This makes BD-TV accessible to anyone in the world who has a DVD player or computer with DVD-Video playback capabilities. This format allows us to reach the most viewers and include the international market.

BD-TV is a totally new concept, but one we think will quickly catch on and become a must-have for all belly dancers. Pick up a copy today and see why video will revolutionize the communication in our own community!
