I have been an on-and-off dancer for years and this was my first encounter with Portia and her teaching style. I absolutely loved her style as an instructor, such fun for this old lady ❤️
Thank you! I was a belly dancer for 6+ years, not a professional, but was part of an amazing troupe!
I look forward to watching more of your beginner videos so I can regain my muscle and stamina. Much respect!
I love her energy! She seems to be very supportive of her students 🙂
I am Moroccan...This lifts my soul!
My first time at age 59. Much easier to follow than I expected and, Portia, you are such FUN! Thank you!
Miss Portia, Your Beginner Belly Dance classes is helping me to embrace my feminine side. Wow! Thank you !! Love these moves .
So refreshing to watch her students get better rather than the professionals making me feel ??
IAs someone who is neurodivergent and needs physical activity to be appealing in order to do it at all, this is one of the most fun workout videos I have ever done! Portia, you are an excellent motivator and guider, you made me laugh! Thank you very much for these videos
Thank YOU for allowing me to share this movement with you!!
She explains everything so nicely. Best belly dance instructor.
Thank you so much!
Her energy is perfect!! Thank you for uploading these for others to enjoy!
I been doing Portia's belly dances for a couple weeks now( many different ones on u tube)and watching her students behind her progress and get better is ❤ warming AND very encouraging to me,I see some of them get better after the warm up😊😊
Greetings, fantastic class. First timer belly dancing tho now I see similarity in my dance moves. Out of shape and out of breath. Feels hysterically fantastic ! Looking forward to this journey ! Thank you
I just did this for the first time and didn't have to stop ONCE to figure it out😃! You make the whole thing so natural and fun😆 (...but not easy 🙄) Your personality and humour remind me of my coolest friend in highschool. Thank-you. This lifted my mood immensely😁
Thank you for creating this. Your instructions and visuals are much easier to understand than reading how to do it.
You are very welcome my dear! You can get more here! dance.BellyMotions.com weeeeeeee!!!
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’m in the same boat. Don’t get discouraged! You are not alone and it’s awesome that you are taking the initiative to do something that you want to do despite depression. ❤
Your first name says it all!! Gotta have FAITH…faith in YOU! Get that cute butt moving. Let’s get out of this funk. Little by little you will learn to dance AND improve your cardio/respiratory system. You got this girl.
@@BellyMotions thank you I really appreciate it 🤗
@@animepeaches22 thanks God bless you 🤗🌷
I’ve been wanting to learn how to belly dance for years. Tried it once watching one of those Xfinity on demand videos. Let’s just say, all I got out of that was a sore back and belly. Just happened to find your video while looking for something totally unrelated. Love the way you break down the movements and explain them in a way that makes it fun and easy to follow. You now have a new subscriber.

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 🙏🏼😊
I just love what I do! THANK YOU for connecting with me!! dance.bellymotions.com/
Music is awesome and I love how it's Arabic fusion w other influences ❤❤❤❤
Only 8 min into the video and you gained another subscriber! Loved it! Your energy is what I need! Thanks ❤
Yes, she is awesome! I'm also new here ❤🎉
I just love what I do! THANK YOU!! dance.bellymotions.com/
That absolutely flew by! I've dabbled in ballet and pole but this was my first time trying belly dance, and your energy was so fun and motivating!
As a fellow ballerina, welcome to the 6th dimensional pelvic word of belly dance!!! 😉🖤
Sometimes the universe sends you exactly what you need in your life. You are so motivating and you make me smile. So happy to be here!
This. 🥹❤️🤩💃🏻 dance.BellyMotions.com
I’ve been looking for an online class for years. Finally found you. You are such a fantastic teacher. I love how beginner friendly this is. Thank you so much.
I’m coming back for more ♥️
You' are a very good instructor very patient explains everything. Makes learning easy and fun ❤
I've been like 2 year without dancing...and thank you so much for such a brilliant routine.
My pleasure! Thank YOU for dancing with me!
Perfect dance teacher!!! Awesome. I am 52 yrs and a dancer by instinct and have been choreographing dance for teams. Loved your teaching and doing it for cardiac health and to increase bone strength... To pass through perimenopause with health.
Portia, thank you so much! Keep with teaching the moves' details. YOU ARE GREAT!
I really appreciate the transparency of seeing your class and the way you breakdown correct posture before doing the movements. Some of my fave belly dance workout creators don’t bother to explain posture, but I could feel a serious difference after following your instructions. Amazing workout! I hope you upload more.
Yay!!! Mission accomplished ❤️❤️ happy teacher here!
I wanna start working out and I did a 30 min workout with this video without stopping because it didn’t even feel like I worked out it was so much fun!! I hate gyms and stuff so thank you so much!!
EXERCISE IN DISGUIS!!!! Thanks for subscribing and dancing with me! 💕
Hi Portia , great class first belly dance class ever. Love how you teach and break it down. 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 .

Great instructor. My first view by accident. I miss belly dance. She’s awesome. Got me motivated at my age. Took belly dance 25-35 years ago loved it. Thank you for such a great instruction to remotivaee Love your energy
I've seen many beginner's belly dance videos. Yours was the best! The energy you put out is so refreshing and makes me want to dance with you. I am recovering from an 8nyear bed bound condition & my challenge is to stand & walk & eventually learn this beautiful art! For now I'm soaking up your lessons in my mind! Great going!❤
Right after I do my 30 minutes yoga stretches, belly dancing with you for 30 More minutes gives me the best over all works out. Thank you

Thank you so much! You are the best belly dance teacher I have had. I love the way you break each move down and then put it all together. You make it fun and I love the music. I will look for more of your videos!
This was my first belly dance lesson and it was amazing! I love your energy and the fun comments, keep it like that please! Thank you so much! :) >3
Oh I’m so honored!!!! I hope I’ve planted an empowering seed!
This is amazing!!! I haven’t been to belly dance in years.. I miss it sooo much. Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤
You're so welcome!
Amazing!!! I loved it ❤ you're an amazing teacher.
I watched many other videos but this channel was the one that really helped me 🎉
This was really different from all of the other exercise videos I have tried. I was intrigued by the part when you swing each hip forward. Brand new to me! Thank you for introducing me to the "forbidden" dance. (I used to think so as a kid).
I committed to working out at home about 5 weeks ago. This is my favorite video. My tight hips have loosened immensely and I've started dancing more throughout the day. Sending so much ❤ to you. Thank you!!!
You got this! I committed too but feel off the wagon a bit. Gotta restart this week! dance.BellyMotions.com
honestly speaking, I just started liking belly dancing out of the blue, i tried this video yesterday, i wanna make it a habit, I'm gonna try another one of your videos today! i really love how this makes me feel because it feels like a workout and it makes me feel more feminine and connected to my culture
Belly dance is empowering! Thanks for dancing with me and subscribing!!! 😘
I have taken belly dance classes in the past both in live classes and on video, this one is by far my favorite! I love Portia’s energy, I like how she explains and breaks down the movements and she does it in a way that makes you feel like she’s in the living room with you. Thank you for these videos 💚
I just love what I do! THANK YOU for dancing with me!!! dance.bellymotions.com/
Thank you! I loved this class so much! Thank you for your teaching technique, it's unique!
I think it's the best class on youtube! Thank you so much!
I am about to turn 31 in two months and since my teenage years, I have always been drawn to belly dance. I finally found you who can make it look all easy and I tried it with you today I would say I am really catching up. Thank you, sweetheart!
I just love what I do! Thanks for subscribing!! dance.bellymotions.com/
Hello from the UK, I found your channel about a week ago and I am hooked, love getting my jiggle on after work, my new year resolution was to try something new and I love it. I have done Pilates for a while but needed something more to do , balancing is harder than it looks but so much fun and you Portia are an amazing teacher and very funny. Xxxxxxx😍
Hello Janina and thanks for dancing with us from the UK! Its my happy place too! 😍
I just happened to stumble across this video and Portia caught my attention because she’s different from the others I have seen. What an awesome personality and her movements are easy to follow! I’m definitely going to give it a go!
Thank you Portia!

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!
Wonderful!!!! YES, you can do it!!
Love your classes! Your the best so far. You explain things better to me and make it possible for me to learn. Thank you! I've got a couple girls that meet at my hour or the gym. So glad I found you!!!
Thankyou!!

Love how you talk in rhythm with the music 😊🎉❤
You are such a great coach ma’am ❤ Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Instructor is adorable! Looks like a great workout for sitting all day and hunched over.
Awww thanks! It's exercise in disguise! dance.bellymotions.com/
You are such an engaging instructor! Bellydance was not on my fitness radar, but I stumbled across your channel, and I remembered your exercise dvd from 20-ish years ago! I gave this one a whirl today. I’m stiff and awkward as can be but it was fun! Thanks. :)
Thanks for dancing with me Alison!
You are such a great teacher. Thank you🙏
I love the music and your Style of teaching, Portia! I seem to learn better with the right music. ❤️
I really really enjoyed watching this your a very engaging teacher great at explaining exactly what you wanted to get across I like how you don’t yell at everyone I could feel what you meant ~ great work ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been looking for a belly dance channel and I'm so glad I found this one. And it's such a good beginners class. You really explain the moves so clearly and break them down so I know exactly what to do. I also love your energy 💖 Thank you so much. Xx
I'm glad I can help and honored to be one of your instructors! dance.bellymotions.com/
Very nice class! Love it! I learned a lot today! Thank you!

Wow, this was tough and I felt every muscle in my legs and feet but Portia, you are a fantastic teacher!! I’ve missed dance so much, I wish I was in your city! ❤️
I love this woman so much, her energy is unmatched 🥰
Hi my sweets friend! Aww, thank you. I’m spreading the joy and energy! 🥰
ever since i was growing up, one of my many favorite cultures were arabic and egyptian, i completely fell in love with bellydancing and it's a great workout to lose pounds, it's just so beautiful to me especially when you got some egyptian musk or frankincense and myrrh incense burning as you do this.
I can feel (and smell) this!!!
Me too it’s perfect 😍
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!!!
Thanks for subscribing Jane and also for sharing your story on Four Corners! Happy you like belly dancing with us!
This is the best class ever on belly dancing Portia you are not only an amazing dancer but a brilliant teacher too ❤ please keep on doing what you do
Thank you so much for taking the time to write. super appreciate you and this comment!!!!
absolutely loved this lesson 🥰 thank you for sharing :))))
Love! the warm-up! Great, clear, concise instructions. Thank you ❤
You’re awesome! Thanks for a wonderful class/instruction.
You are wonderful. I love that you explained what to do and not to do, realizing some of us have never done this before. Your energy and explanation will keep me coming back. After I feel like I have a good handle on these movements which video should be next?
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot how much I love belly dancing!!! Thank you!!! You make it so easy!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I'm so glad! GET YOUR BELLY IN MOTION...no reason to stop now!!!
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.
You are so very welcome, and thank you for sharing your story❤️ Just stay positive and active, and you will get through this. You have a new tribe now and we're all sending you good vibes, love and positivity!💃🏽❤️ xoxo MissP️️ dance.bellymotions.com/

Oh my God! YOU ARE SO VERY AWESOME!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS AWESOME CLASS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY!!! BEST BELLY DANCING CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
I’ve been stuck in depression and dealing with a chronic illness that has left me feeling totally robbed of my femininity, not to mention overweight! I’ve been searching for something I could do to help reconnect with my body and maybe even lose some of this weight. I’ve always wanted to try to learn to dance this way but found it too intimidating. You however have inspired me to finally try! You are an INCREDIBLE teacher. New sub and hopefully new dancer ❤
You are so loved and admired. I’m proud of you and honored to know you’ll be dancing bc of me. I give you inspiration and you in turn give it back! Thank you!
Danke schön! Das waren wirklich schnelle 30 Minuten, die mir noch dazu Spaß gemacht haben. Danke!😊
Having fun is what makes the time fly by! Thank YOU for dancing with me! 😘
This was a lot of fun Ms. Portia. Thank you for assisting me during my mind, body, and spirit connection journey❤❤
