i have zero coordination but this lady is not only gorgeous and explains very well to the point that i m going to try at home, but she is so funny and humble.

I’m recovering from cervical cancer and I’m looking forward to working with my feminine energy again….❤

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! ❤❤❤

54 years old, overweight, menopausal, high cortisol, overly stressed, and today was the best workout and 30 mins I’ve had in forever. Thank you. You made me feel alive again. ❤

This is the first belly dance class I've ever taken with clear instruction that makes sense and moves that are easy enough to follow and pick up the first time! Loved it, I'll be back!

[Swasohri]

Best teacher there on youtube for belly dance ...she really knows how to train even the most beginner out of step slow person who never danced anything ..i can't follow left to right in time 😂.. i can't follow any complicated moves and most people go too fast for me..i love her personality .I m 50 I don't a workout where I feel like I will pass out in 10 mins 😅😅

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 ❤️

[deniseleavitt]

Just what I needed! I’ve been jumping around on YouTube, but I’ve finally found my online belly dance teacher! You are so much fun, and you make it so doable. I love you Miss Portia! I’m sticking with you!

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!

[wraithsways]

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 <333

[CloverThaFox]

I always wanted to be a dancer as a child but was always forced to other things that were considered to be more successful career paths. I am finally fully embracing dance at almost 28 years old and dancing every day and I feel like I was made for this. ❤

[l.watkins]

Her energy is perfect!! Thank you for uploading these for others to enjoy!

[maririttmayer]

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😊😊

[UntitledKryier]

I recently fell down the belly dancer rabbit hole, and it has help me feel more secure with my body. These videos have been really helpful for my learning process, thank you for these wonderful videos <3

[RosarioMD]

I love her energy! She seems to be very supportive of her students 🙂

[gemmadidit]

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😁

[maririttmayer]

So refreshing to watch her students get better rather than the professionals making me feel ??

[ellybrasilsingercantora]

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 🙏🏼😊

[kikigirlkauai]
