Dear Miss Portia. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your lessons. I live in Ukraine. We are at war, and every day dead soldiers are carried along the street. It's easy to go crazy about this. But your lessons help me keep my sanity. This may seem stupid to some, but I bought a colored belt for coins and am dancing with you. In your lessons I forget about the war and don’t hear the sounds of an air raid. You have no idea how much this means to me. I do not speak English. And Google Translator translated it. sorry if there are any mistakes. I wish you happiness and success in everything. Your dancing is the best therapy.

[@sandravalverde8742]

For the ones with the issues, if your not sweating then your not doing it right. Portcia shouldn't have to waste her breath on you or waste 1 minute of her video to resolve your petty issues so that you can get your so-called minute of fame. Yall know that's not right and if you don't then you do now. Mind your manners…. Carry on Portia you go girl. Work it work it 100%❤

[@jennychitkuer1124]

Oh my gosh I love your routine very much. You are an excellent teacher. You tell us exactly how to do to get the best out come. I love 💕 watching you dance and you make it fun. Love ❤️ it. Love ❤️ it. 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋👋💕💕💕💕💕

[@maririttmayer6775]

Portia is the most awesome instructor I've ever followed,(I am 66,taught many different fitness classes(not belly dancing,yes power yoga😊,i hired,trained& supervised instructors as well,so glad i found Portia,she has breathed NEW life into my workouts,...do not mean to btag,just want the world to know how awesome she is❤😅

[@cherrywavez99]

portia, you are so unbelievably beautiful, kind and talented! you don’t need to explain any natural occurrences to any ignorant people! i have been using your videos for weight loss for 3 wks now and my shirts are soaked by the end! it feels amazing to energize, sweat and learn something new. whoever doesn’t understand the physical aspect of these routines has no business viewing your art. 💖💖

[@macbookpro111]

So happy to have found you!! You're awesome and so beautiful! Thank you so much! ❤❤

[@erikahernandezeusebio1111]

I love belly dance. You are a good Teacher!! Thanks

[@lillyallen3650]

Thank you, Portia❤ your lessons are the best, and your energy is so powerful I really like it✨🙌

[@hila10]

Beautiful Portia, you are amazing! I enjoy learning from you, you're classes are so fun, thank you!

[@Artspeaketh]

Aren’t you a full package! Love dancing with you and sharing your energy and vibe!

[@user-xk3do9md7u]

Thank you, Portia, for this wonderful workout! It's a sheer delight and thank you for your talent to teach!

[@LeonaGeorgeDavidson]

It feels so good to be encouraged to completely love my (our bodies) - shape, size, movement, perspiration, stamina, energy, and all. Your care, expertise, joy, humor, self deprecation, and self love make me want to love myself even more (leaving self consciousness and fear at the door)! I love how easily you stay and speak on beat with the music, and even when you make a mid lesson adjustment, it always fits right into the rhythm. Your lessons and sessions are a guiding force in my life. Sending love and good energy your way (and to all your/our Belly Motions with Portia community). We are doing this!! 💜💜💜

[@BellyMotions]

Well this makes my heart happy!!! I’m so happy I can bring joy and movement to you. Thank YOU for dancing with ME!!!

Thank you for being good at what you do🎉🎉 I'll need to start with the basics to get that body memory back. Covid deaths totally interupted my joy for dance. I need this❤

[@MelissaWaters2]

Thank you Portia! Your videos are the only thing that get me exercising regularly. I love belly dancing even tho I’ve only been doing this for a couple of weeks. I’ve lost weight and my posture is better. Don’t sweat the sweating. It’s nothing compared to a menopause hot flash!!

[@BellyMotions]

Wonderful!!!! Keep going!! Menopause. Ahh it’s coming for me!! 😝 💃🏻dance.BellyMotions.com

[@robertawelch8356]

Love belly dancing! I've always wanted to try It! I've done class now 3 times in the past week and will keep it up! Feeling good!!! Love the long classes- love the burn!!!! Keep posting long classes! I'll be getting a scarf with beads soon!

Hi Portia, you are so amazing and I love your Belly Jelly Workout! If someone is working as hard as you, SWEATING is absolutely normal. So don't worry about and don't listen to the others. I am also sweating every day and night because of the Menopause. I appreciate your style and your sense of humor. very good energy and vibes. love your channel! I want to dance with you in a room that would be great THANKS A LOT FOR THIS GIFT😘

Thank you ❤❤❤❤🎉

[@SSweeys]

As someone stiff as a stick and with no coordination this lesson has been a pain. I'm sweating and crying (mad at myself) but at least I'm trying : Thank you Portia ! The mouvement where you move one of your feet in front of the other and pushing your hips to the rythm of the music has been really challenging. Could managed to almost do it right on my left hip but my right hip is like : what do you want me to do ? lol I'm pushing like crazy on my feet so my hip don't move at all. I don't know what I'm messing up on this part but I'll keep trying.

[@BellyMotions]

Be gentle with yourself. Have FUN with the learning process and you’ll learn more than just belly dance! 😉❤️

[@jenapickering9970]

I love your classes! Glad you don’t listen to mean people. Everybody sweats. You are beautiful anyways! Your energy is awesome! Thank you! 💖

[@dianezhi]

Wow, you are too much fun!!! I just ran across these videos and your Chanel , looking for Zumba on line. there you were. I loved this class. I felt like a pro. You are funny and very thorough. Is there a progression, a series that I can follow to keep learning? I can pay for that.

[@BellyMotions]

[@maririttmayer6775]

People so petty about sweat or any other thing THEY do not like😭we love to sweat!!!!

[@wendyhannan2454]

I didn’t even notice to be honest, but who cares, you know your into it when you start sweating. 😉

[@inu_inux3550]

😍❤❤

[@patriciau6277]

You’re lovely. Thank you for making these videos. I wish that I lived in that area just to take your class. I’ve always loved the activities that isolated muscles. I grew up with isometric exercises in the seventies. I miss the old ways of keeping your man interested in you only. I loved being in love and marriage. It was so much fun.😊

[@PatriciaFalcon-mj3oo]

Portia don't apologize for having sweaty arm pits....WE all sweat...people be nice to Portia ❤..she very gorgeous ...too many haters out here...😂

[@jennifermilne7151]

I love your energy !!! I want to do this but I need to know since this is your art and profession ….. how much stress is put on the L4/L5 vertebrae. I need to move but my doctor has no clue about how it works that part of your back !! I have an old injury but with fibromyalgia movement is required !! 😊😊😊😊

[@BellyMotions]

Hi my love! I understand. The goal is to engage the abdominals while performing any move promoting proper posture and a supported spine. Ideally so if you do these moves gently and with proper form it should help you improve your core strength and spine mobility. Try these movements SMALLER and SLOWER to discover how your body reacts. Keep me posted please!

[@wendyhannan2454]

That’s my story same injuries with fibromyalgia thrown in. I was thinking the very same thing 😉 This is my first time watching, I just found Portia. I think I’ll give it a try I love this dance. I watched Tina Turner singing and dancing to Proud Mary I joined in 😩over did it a little bit, but recovered. I’m 77 and love dancing.

[@wendyhannan2454]

Thanks Portia, you’re a great instructor I love your out fit. You look amazing, it must be all that belly dancing. 😊

[@AnaceliaBreen]

Portia the best sweat I ever had🧍‍♀thank you

[@staceybaker4925]

I have old back issues and I broke my back a couple of years ago do you think I will still be able to do this ? Xxx

[@cliffe009]

U look amazing sweaty

[@cmkellygirl]

haha and lol! i have had to gracefully sweat on my face all my life...and as a girl to look sweaty is to look overactive was the old adage. now if u gotta work hard to do cardio or to keep up at work with the men...u just gotta let yourself go girls! 😅enjoy the cooling mechanisms of ur own body.

[@silvana.ameandespeciallyyo6885]

they b throwing shade bcoz they wish they were u ..no sweat , no fun. .Belly dancing was the first dance God invented for the pleasure of his eternal consort. Her name is Radharani..

[@Roxolana777R]

♥️♥️♥️🇵🇱🙋🌹

[@ronaldofabiano2353]

Why do you hide from the beauty of your eyes ? Why does hair hide your most beautiful face ? Don't bother, I will be fine. I promisse you never see me cry of love. ❤
