I was looking for belly dancers for my friends suprise birthday party. I got way more then I could hope for! There was fire, swords, and of course dancing. They even managed to focus on the Birthday girl without leaving out the rest of the attendees. They wore mask when they interacted with the guests and had special attire to hide there face mask so it didn't pull away from the vibe and decor. The perfect balance of fun and professional!!! Totally rehire ๐Ÿฅฐ

I took my first class two months ago with Portia and absolutely LOVED IT! I definitely recommend trying her "Cardio Dance & Conditioning" class. If you want something upbeat and fun try this studio! The class was awesome with modern music. She really keeps you motivated to keep going and keeps an eye on all her students. Loved the energy and vibe. Can't wait for my next class... signing up for more :-)

The belly dancing level 1 class was fun, a light to moderate workout, I broke a sweat; the instructor, Alessandra, provides thorough technique verbally and physically. The environment is very clean, overall very inviting. Give it a try, you wonโ€™t be disappointed.

Fabulous teacher, fabulous workout. Belly Motions is so much better than the average workout! Portias's classes have clear movement directions, individual attention and a great knowledge of which muscles we are working on.... while we are dancing to great music. I'm a dancer and I take classes here. The Low Cardio workout is for everyone at whatever level you are. Small group sizes.

I love Belly Motions I have been going and attending since 2008. I have learned with all teachers, each has their own beautifully way of teaching and different technique. I feel welcome and empowered by this beautifully dance. Love the yearly show and fundraise event that we can dance as student and wear our costume.

My 2nd home! Home away from home! I've been a student at Belly Motions for some time now and It has made me grow as a person and a dancer immensely. I'm humbled by the opportunities the studio has provided me to express my love for the art of belly dance. The teaching methods advances anyone in any level to improve and nourish their desire to dance. My teachers are my mentors and have been there for me in any dance occasion and in my own personal life at times. The minute I walked into the studio I fell in love...In love with the art, the environment, the teaching methods, everything! I have also created amazing friendships with the girls that attend class. I recommend everyone to walk in and Judge for themselves, you will not be disappointed.

Very welcoming environment. Warm and loving instructors and non judgmental. Teaching skills are like no other studios. I've visited a couple before and I couldn't of learned to the level I am in now anywhere else. Very professional dance studio. Besides all the technical aspects, it empowers women, brings unity, and encourages the art of dance in its unique way.

Belly Motions is the place to go to learn belly dance with teachers whom are inspirational, fun and experienced. It really is a place to meet new friends and grow in dance beyond what you ever thought possible. And it's FUN as well as exercise.

As a longtime student of Belly Motions, I feel encouraged to chime in. Belly motions is expensive. There is no doubt about that and at times they take desperate measures to make money (burned CDs used to be free with a workshop, now they make you buy the CD ...and charging $15 entrance for a "movie night" where you sit on a yoga mat and watch a movie on their cheap TV? What the heck?! That costs more than a movie theater ticket!). I laughed at the comment about all of the pictures of Portia in the studio. It's really true! She has pictures of herself plastered on every wall. It looks like a temple for Portia worship! LOL! She is often self-absorbed but I believe that she is kind at heart. The reason why I return to Belly Motions is because it is the closest belly dance studio to my house and it's light exercise. Now on to what bothers me the most about Belly Motions - they have no sense of community. They do not support other dancers in the community unless that dancer happens to be hosting an event that will give Belly Motions exposure. They discourage students from taking classes with other instructors. How can a student grow without studying with others? They also discourage students from performing outside of Belly Motions, especially if that means performing professionally. This make me question their intentions. Overall it is not a nourishing environment if you plan on going pro one day.
