BD Clip of the Day Blog is NOW "RaqsVideos" Blog

Don't have the time to watch clip after clip, hoping to find great
belly dance performances or belly dance related information on
YouTube. Don't fret...I can do the work for you! All you have to do is
subscribe to my new (old and renamed) blog called RaqsVideos!!

This site use to be called "BD Clip of the Day", but daily updates
wasn't working for me in 2008. So, I have decided to revive this blog,
but with less frequent updates. You'll see a great new clip roughly
weekly this time around.

RaqsVideos will feature great belly dance performances both old and
new, as well as videos on related Middle Eastern dance forms, like
Khaleegi, Tunisian, and Turkish Rom, just to name a few. You may see
videos on make-up application or the Arabic language. Music videos
from popular Middle Eastern artists. Every once in a while I may post
videos that are controversial. How-to or instructional videos. Get the
best of the web without spending hours online!

Wanna Find New Arabic Music, but Not Sure Where to Look?

Sometimes finding new music to dance and listen to can be difficult.
Luckily, the internet offers many FREE options for you to sample music
without spending a dime. One website I recently found is
ArabicMusic.com - They stream Arabic music over the internet and
display artist, song, and album (most of the time). There are lots of
other music streaming sites out there that don't provide song
information. However, this one does! Now you'll know what you are
listening to, so you can go and purchase exactly what you want. Isn't
that nice!
