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'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! ❤❤❤

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 .
