Here is a link to the ebay auction: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll
It's for a laserdisc from 1982 that contains belly dance instruction. I already have one, which is why I don't mind sharing the link here. Unfortunbately, I don't (yet) have a laserdisc player, so I haven't had an opportunity to watch it. If anybody wants to know more detail about what it contains, I can post some of the text from the back cover - let me know if you want me to.
The cover claims that it features 4 dancers. Someone else who has seen this tells me that the primary instructor is Marta Schill, and that it also shows John Bilezikjian on-screen.

Tue, January 9, 2007 - 1:29 PMAfter re-reading these posts I see that laserdisc is an old medium and not something brand new.
Glad to hear it. Thought I might have to worry about converting to it after finally going to DVDs!!!
I've never heard of one though. -

Re: Vintage belly dance laserdisc on ebay
Tue, January 9, 2007 - 1:59 PMYes, laserdisc technology arose around the same time as the early VCR's. At the time, both technologies were so expensive that people tended to buy one or the other, not both. And people tended to choose VCR's because that enabled them to record shows from live tv as well as watch rented or purchased movies on tape. So laserdiscs kind of died out for that reason.
