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

This is EXACTLY what I needed in my life and I had absolutely no idea.

February 2019: I went to a French Meetup at Maroosh in the Gables. I had a fantastic time. Good food, great company, and of course belly dancing!

Since then, I have had my eye on belly dancing. Call it a bucket list item if you will. I can finally say that thanks to Belly Motions I tried it.

I signed up via ClassPass for their 10 AM Fundamentals class. My instructor was Alexandra. She was so lively, full of energy and pep. Felt more like being with a friend than an instructor.

The Fundamentals class is essentially Belly

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.

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 won’t be disappointed.

I love this place. I do the Kukuwa African dance class and I've done the Belly dance class for beginners. Always a lot of fun and a great workout. The workers are super friendly as well as the owner Portia. Their facility is very clean and it really feels like home.

I just took a class here today with Portia and absolutely fell in LOVE! I definitely recommend trying her new dance & conditioning class. If you're like me who loathes the idea of being on a treadmill to get your sweat of the day and need something upbeat & fun try this studio! The class was fun with some modern music but also Had a great international flavor of different dances PLUS a toning portion. She is so bubbly and really keeps you motivated to keep going. Loved the energy and vibe. The studio has a variety of classes to offer of international dance which I love..but this was

I really wanted to love this studio but JEEZ...they are MONEY HUNGRY!!!

Do yourself a favor and don't buy from their overpriced store. With a quick google search, you can find the same exact items they sell in there for about 50% less.

I also hired one of the dancers for my event. This studio boasts about having "the best" performers in Miami. The dancer was ok but I have seen MANY belly dancers in Miami who are better. They overhype themselves on their website. No, they are not Miami's best belly dancers, and no, they do not come close to being Miami's best belly dancers

Portia is seriously one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She is an excellent dancer and teacher who makes you feel very comfortable and knows how to break down the moves so that anyone can learn them. All of the instructors I've had from this studio share these traits as well. The classes are fun and you really look forward to coming back for the next lesson. Their shop of belly dance related items is well stocked, but be warned, it can get VERY addictive. I recently moved very far from here, but believe me, I will be returning for lessons the moment my schedule clears up. The drive

Belly Motions is an awesome place to learn belly dance. I wasn't a beginner when I took classes with Portia, but she is an incredible teacher and soooo friendly and personable. She welcomes you into the class and treats you like a friend almost immediately. She makes her students feel so comfortable and she's great at breaking down the movements and giving individual attention when needed. She's young and energetic, and very knowledgeable about fitness and the female body. Not to mention, she's an award winning dancer. All the teachers at Belly Motions are good, but Portia
