Thank you, Leilah! Love and respecto from México!

[@hesterdejong6384]

I liked it sooo much, i'm struggling with depression and other mental problems and try to learn better coping skills. Instead of always yoga I tried your bellydancing video and I felt in love. Your so happy and energetic. And its not hard and nice to follow. I like short workouts. Al happy feelings after im done. Im going to do more of your video's. Thanks

[@jackiehackett4617]

Here with Bipolar Depression and just want to echo the same feelings. Love to both Linseh and Leilah for being here!

[@scummies7]

as someone who also struggles with depression, I'm so proud of you for trying new coping mechanisms! It's easy to get into a rut, especially with mental illness, so trying out new activities and finding things that you personally enjoy is always so uplifting to see :] keep it up!

[@brandymcfarlane8873]

stick with this bc she is so true to the correct tribal and cabaret form of belly dance. You are doing it right and channeling all that depression into something positive . prayers for you and what you are struggling with

[@cmayerbooksandmusic]

I know exactly what you mean. Her videos finally got me to do some exercise instead of lying on the couch all sad. She's magic :D Hope things are better for you, hang in there!

[@gentryweston2853]

The best website so far I found to learn Belly Dance is 4BellyDanceClasses.blogspot.com Hope this will help….

[@alisonhart3835]

I started out so stiff and as it went on I couldn’t help but smile!! This was so fun! I feel so stretched and awake for the first time today and it’s 7PM. Next time I think I’ll start the day with this.

[@nicolebrown7719]

Same here!

[@meganedwards3491]

Several years ago I was a professional belly dancer in a troupe I loved until I moved across country. Before I could find another troupe I injured my foot badly and had to learn how to walk again and by balance was shot. Your videos have been helping me gain back my flexibility,stamina, and balance along with me feeling like I’ll be able to start dancing again once quarantine is over. I’m eternally grateful for you.

[@maryrivadeneira4975]

Good Luck!!!!

[@yubima]

I hope youre better 😻

[@sycamoreleaves74]

I just discovered your workout channel and I am doing them everyday! I have already dropped 12/13 lbs since I took them up and my belly is getting flatter thanks to you!

[@tiyaht2158]

Wow, that’s so great! I’m hoping to see a difference… in SOMETHING, lol, soon. No, but seriously, her workouts have helped the lack of flexibility I’ve had in my back for a while now. Yeh movements hurt like hell at first, but I can touch my toes now ! Haven’t done that in yeeeeears! Even doing her warm ups are a workout, and I do feel a difference. I hope you are still doing well!

[@jeanines_channel3246]

This is a great and fun alternative when I don't feel like jumping Jacks and burpees. 😂❤❤❤❤

[@ayeshakaka7369]

Absolutely.. I totally agree.. Didn't get board nor yawny.. Hahaha.. I usually yawn on those standard work outs!!!this was soo much fun

[@jennifermundo1439]

No lie

[@abeyshe1021]

Agree. My body can't handle jumpic jacks.

[@The_Joyful_Homemaker]

AMEN, she has so much positivity. I ditched all traditional and workouts for this fun one, she gives my hope in knowing that working out and getting the body I want is totally achievable

[@SaraAce737]

These belly dancing videos have been my go to for a few months now and it's the most improvement I have seen on my abs which had diastasis recti ( separation due to pregnancy). Thank you for all you do!

[@jennadominguez4786]

I was having a horrible day and felt my self falling into a depression. Accidentally clicked your video and I’m in love! Your energy is contagious even through a screen! Thank you for your help and love. From California ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@julietteferrars3097]

I didn’t realize how out of shape I was until I got a cramp only 10 minutes in! I’ve been really sedentary while recovering from a car accident and this workout was perfect for me. It was low stress on my back and neck but still got my heart rate up. ♥️

[@phantomlover1000]

I did this video twice already . your videos have helped me to get more confidence in my belly dancing ,and with my self I am very self critical on myself and I find that I am not as such . Thank you for your videos they are a blessing

[@BellyFITbyLeilah]

YEY! OMG that is wonderful, I am so happy you are feeling more confident, which you definitely should be. Well done Kristen and please keep up the dancing, It will continue to make you smile, get fit and confident! 😁

[@teriblount4575]

I'm not coordinated but I'm having a LOT of fun with these videos !! You're good to repeat and explain as we go. You don't even make me feel as old as I am (64!) but I'm getting a decent workout and having a blast!

[@sadmob9288]

I usually feel intimidated and overwhelmed by belly dance videos but I feel like you make it so easy and make me okay with the fact that it might not be perfect yet. Thanks Leilah!

[@saraorganizers-r-us8723]

I’ve been belly dancing for years now and I’m in a position where I cannot go out to belly dance... I do not like you tube exercise videos but when I stumbled on you and your belly dance workouts, my perception is changed. You have such welcoming energy... thank you for inspiring me to keep up with my bliss!

[@sarapellacani2874]

Did u lose belly ?

[@ImogenShade]

Those eloquent hand movements may rehabilitate my old wrist injury! And this looks so much joyful than boring rehab exercises! Thank you!🍀

[@laurahirschfeld6393]

I love this workout so much!!! There are not nearly enough videos that are dedicated to actual practice rather than doing the skills a couple of times and moving on. Thanks so much!!!!

[@Alianemi]

Thank you! I used to belly dance back in days but it's been a while since . Now I'm quarantened and doing a lot of boring workout unti I found this video! Had a great workout and few moments out of stress (also because of your beautiful smile!). Thanks!

[@jasminecotter7933]

I think it is important for instructional videos to provide proper guidance and explanation of the techniques. I never felt like she was moving too fast, and I appreciated the combination of technical and artistic explanations of the movements. It also never felt boring or slow. Besides the quality instruction, this is shot very well: the camerawork and the voiceover are right on cue, and that is not easy to find. If you are interested in learning to bellydance, do yourself a favor and visit this t.co/4OA5AimJrl

[@kristenlanh3185]

Tried and true! Love your workouts! They are always the best 15 minutes of the day. So glad to be back to working out with you! Thanks for all of the happiness you spread with your awesome videos!

[@dawnsah7725]

I followed this for 3 months and am still loving it. So much fun and happy to do it every time. I can do hip shimmy and chest lift now but chest rotate is still difficult. I will keep practising. Thank you so much, Leilah! Love from HK!

[@nonyabizness956]

The music is just so energizing lol I need it on a workout playlist

[@freesmile7908]

Hello, I ' m new at belly dancing, I find your cheerful personality Is a blessing during my quarantine, Follow your lessons every day. Thank you.

[@PeacefullPath-8]

I kinda look good but my pouch is really trying it’s best to kill my vibes

[@thetongueofangels1882]

Lol

[@NoRevengeNeeded]

Dont

[@ninahirai1809]

pouch is the best part about belly dancing the wigggleeeeee

[@louweezyanna6974]

I am a disabled Army Vet and I haven't worked out in several months due to back pain. I took a chance tonight and I enjoyed your workout😀 It wasn't too jarring or super intense ...it was just perfect👍 I became a new subbie 😀

[@elianorkhoury508]

I'd attended 4 different belly dance classes for 2 years. I can confirm that she s the best at giving clear instructions. Thank you 🙏💃

[@mazasan]

Thank you, you're a very good teacher. I get bored with others that do very slow and repet the same once and again and Talk slowly as if se were stupid. And you are so nice and make It funny.

[@darcytadych3368]

I was determined to loose weight (AGAIN). Exercising was boring...I love dancing but have become very selective in music I listen to. I thought i should find some belly dancing music, in the past I took lessons and did a few performances, which I really enjoyed. While looking I found your videos!! It's been one month now, I dance 5 or 6 times a week, for 30 - 45 min a time. I've lost 6 lbs and 1 1/2 " off my waist and 2 " off my hips !!! I'm so happy!! Dancing with you is something I really look forward to and you make it a lot of fun!! Some of my fav moves for abs are in your " Absolutely Amazing Abs" video. Btw; I'm 60 yrs old. I had lost 4 lbs before I found your videos, and I know you will help me get to my goal of loosing 10 more lbs! Thank you so much!!

[@lanaselo]

Thank you so much! I would usually sit down silently on weddings cause I don't know how to belly dance, but with you I become better everyday!! Thank you again! ❤️

[@BellyFITbyLeilah]

Thank you so much! 😁 Have the best day dancing and at all the weddings!

[@KatieJonesJones]

This work out is fun

[@wiktoriaglowacka06]

Dear diary - today I discovered that i have no abs muscle :")))))

[@pattronia7357]

Thankyou so much for making Belly dancing accessible I am in Nova Scotia Canada and I am glad I found your belly dancing classes I started to enjoy my belly dancing classes and lost track of the teacher and subsequently didn’t do it anymore but thanks to you I am starting again and loving it

[@hazelbloch8895]

here because i cannot stand regular "ab" workouts and never stick with them! Realized I love dance type workouts and videos like this are so much better than joyless floor workouts! Thanks so much :)

[@saraorganizers-r-us8723]

Been belly dancing for years and even though I know the moves it’s so fun to see a simple routine come to fruition so delightfully!!!!

[@flapi7172]

Hello Leilah! I just want to leave a quick comment to say that I love your workouts and have become addicted to your class videos! It’s a pity you are in London. You inspired me to get back to having belly dance classes here in São Paulo, Brazil! Thank you for your energy and light!

[@coraleeolazabal3837]

Hi Leilah, I just did this routine with you I'm 65. I was feeling rather under the weather cuz here in Virginia we're having a cloudy gray morning. But now that I have all this sweat over me, I think I'll go take a shower and get dressed. Thanks for all of your help, CL

[@ichigomomomyia5701]

I've always loves belly dancing and this is really fun to do i look really stupid but i am having the most fun and working out my core at the same time you got yourself a new subscriber

[@kimonay4594]

this is so helpful because i injured my neck and shoulder on the right side at work and found it difficult to do standard ab exercises. Thanks Leilah for showing us we can get the same great results with belly dancing. Cheers!!!

[@sednonsatia]

My Reiki teacher recommended belly dance to work on the sacral chakra and increase energy flow. I took belly dance classes a decade ago and remembered how much I loved it so I decided to try it again, but this time at home since I'm so busy now. This video was very nice for both sacral and solar plexus chakras especially for connecting energy flow between them because of the shifts between hip and chest movements. I also felt great afterward, very connected to my feminine energy and also got to feel really good while approaching exercise with a playful perspective rather than as work. I think I really needed it because I heard popping sounds when I was doing the preliminary stretching! lol 15 minutes is a good amount of time to be able to fit a video in every day. Thanks for making this! I'm going to subscribe and look for videos that go into more movements for the hips.

[@firenze6752]

I've been loving Leilah Isaac's Belly Dance Workout Video for years, from the instant I tried the first video. She is an amazing teacher, and Belly Dance is an incredible Art which she makes instantly practical.

[@thinkandwonder5568]

This is my 2nd day of doing your workouts. I have always wanted to learn belly dancing and i want to have a toned belly. Super excited to keep watching and learning from you!❤

[@patriciarose8593]

This is great!...I'm 46...I took belly dancing back in 2008/09 and loved it, then life got in the way. I'm loving your videos :)...I'm in Canada so unfortunately can't take one of your classes but thank you for putting this online!

[@yeah_no_whatever]

This is great! Thank you. I’ve been searching for an ab workout that doesn’t require me to lay down. Perfect!

[@Nikki_adorbs]

Thank you so much for your videos. This one was my first one & i love it already! I have bad anxiety and it makes me hard to attend a class without panicking, but this was truly so amazing. 🌸🌸

[@BellyFITbyLeilah]

Hey Princesa! Thank you so much for the message. I am so glad that this has helped you in that way and you can always do my workouts whereever you are. Well done for getting through it. And you are not alone with the anxiety, many of my students suffer with this to. Also I would love you to join my first online class class if you are around. The info is here: www.leilahbellydancer.com/virtual-belly-dance-class-live Either way, keep up the dancing 😁

[@deangelowaydesignfilmstudi6315]

I loved the warm up tutorial. Great teaching! I enjoy watching and exercising your videos so much!!! God bless you and your work!

[@chantellsiler809]

I'm determined to get this down! (I feel so uncoordinated lol) Thank you for this, such a alternative ab workout

[@nancycuriel9490]

I feel so welcomed whenever I watch her videos :0

[@stopbyonline6490]

I enjoy following your movements. So fun. It also helps to get rid of stres and get energized. Some movements are a bit fast for me on 7th month pregnancy. Could you make video class for pregnant women as well) that would be great.

[@cajones8437]

Hi Leilah... i am over 60!! tired of a flabby belly! found you....and i love your fun workouts!! and BELLYDANCING!!! lol Thank you

[@Julia-um4rv]

I'm still working but I'm happy to have found your videos. It's been a while since I've taken belly dancing and it's been a great distraction during this corona virus pandemic especially since all the gyms are closed.

[@anjirlicaminu4610]

I absolutely loved your class!!!! Thank You So Much... I just moved to Jamaica and fell in love so without a trainer I wanted to do something really feminine and fun to keep me in shape, I loved it???

[@thebanglagirl]

[@BananaBrianna21]

This was so fun and very easy to begin with. Leilah's brightness will bring me back for more workouts.

[@judithenglish]

I loved this. It's so clearly explained. Thank you so much. I'm going to do this often during covid-19 quarantine. You've made me smile.

[@ihanakaunotar2741]

I’m a beginner so this was slow enough for me to actually be able to keep up, but still got a good work out 😊😊

[@AranzazuTeresaGarcia]

[@hotforhaha1]

Absolutely love the energy you exude through your videos! I commend you for being able to talk through the movements. I feel like such a dork looking at myself in the mirror trying some of the moves, but can't help but laugh at myself. It's still so much fun! Thank you for sharing your talent, instruction, and enthusiasm. Please keep them coming! Best regards, from Las Vegas, Nv.

[@albrown3893]

[@TortoisePig]

Lovely and Monday night at Haley's and the I’m starting this during quarantine, I watch a different video that gave me the idea.

[@librawarrior9067]

Quarantine is for sick people. Locked down is for social conditioning for totalitarian governance coming.

[@nancycottinghampowell9845]

I haven't belly danced in a long time. Thanks for a fun and informative way to get back to it!

[@nicoleevans3777]

I am just starting to try to lose weight and get in shape, and this was really fun, I did it right after zumba, and I couldn't quite keep up, but it felt super good! thank you :)

[@sycamoreleaves74]

[@BellyFITbyLeilah]

Thank you so much. I am so happy you enjoy it and find it as beneficial as myself! Keep up the dancing

[@kayladyson6202]

[@thefabulouswomannetwork134]

Fantastic! I spent 2020 learning hip hop. 2021 is for belly dancing! So glad I found you

[@shea5542]

This was super fun!!! I love the ability to do a quick 15 min workout with you and your attitude is so bright and cheery and amazing! Keep up the good work!! I was wondering if you could do maybe one 15 min video where you teach choreography for a sequence and then another follow on 15 minute video where you use the previously taught sequence as a workout? That would be super cool! Have a good day!

[@missionlove300]

Amazing workout for belly dancing. I truly enjoy working out with you!!! blessings Leilah

[@p.b4287]

Much better than watching quarantine news. Leilha is adorable and the workout is pretty good as well. Fine way to put our bones into shape again and feel well.

[@iraniansoldier7500]

Hey ! It's my second day with you and I really enjoy it. I like to be a professional in belly dance with your videos. Thank you so much
