    I'm 18, I've been living a sedentary life for 5 years, locked up in my home with a lot of depression, feeling bad about my body but without having the courage to face reality, I was only motivated by wanting to learn belly dance, to be honest I get tired very quickly, my heart races and I have to stop myself to breathe and take a break for some minutes, It makes me feel bad since I'm too young to be so physically ill, But this girl makes me feel that I can learn the way she teaches and encourages us to practice, I can't pay for classes, or go to a gym, but I know that with time and effort I will be With more resistance and I will learn to dance what I like the most, thank you for this opportunity that you are giving us, God bless you today, tomorrow and always! ❤❤❤

    I’ve been learning online for years and taking my first in person classes now. I think this class hits all the important ABCs we need daily. On a more health note I suffer from constant back pain and this set is such a relief for my spine. Without a class dynamic the repetition gets monotonous and and the opposite happens here. I wanted more! I really enjoy your teacher personality I felt I was right there with you ladies. Thank you for this and for the motivation 🙏🏼😊

This is great for me to correct my posture and stand tall, isolate and strengthen all of those muscles, thank you so much! I find this to be the greatest complement to my line dance lessons. Started those 9 months ago , good progress learning moving etc,but I know I need to move more and in different ways this will be it . Repetition is key. You are the most welcoming and upbeat teacher right in alignment with me .

    Hi Portia:
    Finally attempted your fabulous video. I love it! Will do this over and over until I nail it. Then I’m on to another beginner video. You make it really fun. So effective when you make us BAM and BOOM those hips! Thank you. 💜😎🇺🇸

    Your belly dance class is wonderful. I always like belly dancing. This reminds of the dance back in the late 60s called the Four Corners. We swung our hips similar to the way you swing yours doing the belly dance. I'm going to start watching this video to learn how to belly dance. Great video!!!

    Wow! You were the first for me to try belly dancing, and I am here to stay! I was a ballerina, and a topless entertainer (like flashdance) for years, I have probably spent 60/ of my life in high heels. Cant stand to be flat footed, my balance gets off. But because of your amazing warm up, and your great instruction, I found myself being flat footed and not falling over, when I heard you say push thru the heel I believe it was, I was like there is a strange and awkward thing for me to do, great job easing me into it. I believe I can do this, thank you so much. YOU ARE AWESOME!

      wow, what a wonderful message to receive, thank you for sharing!! you're my hero! flashdance is the reason I still wear leg warmers...even though I live in 100 degree weather! lol they are just sexy! Thank you for dancing with me and I'm glad the instruction helped you rediscover a new posture, position and connection. dance.bellymotions.com/

    I had to add more steps and your video popped up. I did the entire 30 minutes and had so much fun. It was a great workout and before I knew it, the 30 minutes was over. You have such a great sense of humor. I kept on envisioning pushing customers out of the way with my hip as I went down the imaginary aisle. You are an excellent instructor and thank you for sharing your joy for belly dancing with us. By the way, I ended up subscribing to your channel.

      Aww thank you my dear. Yeah, I believe humor is the best medicine and I use it in the classroom to help students relate, connect, and laugh while learning!! “Move out the way people, we’re coming through!” Lol

    I love this so much! I was recently diagnosed with Stage I BC and I was looking for a way to remain active along with walking. Then I found you and I'm sure you were Heaven sent to help me, guide me, and teach me to dance and have fun all while keeping my stamina up. I am 69 years young and I believe it is NEVER too late to learn something new! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I just found this video and I love it! I'm 73 and exercise regularly and walk. I still have a jelly roll that I think this routine will help with. It's a hell of a workout and I couldn't finish it, but I will! I like to dance to rock n roll so I am limber for an old gal!
