Welcome to Belly Motions®!

Hi, I’m Portia—also known as Miss P—your belly dance instructor, leg warmer enthusiast, and personal cheerleader on this fabulous dance journey! 💃

With over 20 years of experience teaching belly dance in Miami and around the world, I’ve developed a teaching style that blends authentic Egyptian-American technique with modern fitness, fun, and a whole lot of encouragement. I’ve been called the “Richard Simmons of Belly Dance,” and honestly… I love it! 😉

My classes are high-energy, empowering, and designed to make everyBODY feel amazing. Whether you’re brand new or ready to take the stage, I’ve got you covered with beginner through advanced instruction, technique, choreographies, props, and more. ✨

You can dance with me in three fabulous ways: 🎉

💃 In Person – Join me at Jill Mallory Dance Studio in sunny Miami, FL.
📡 LIVEstream via Zoom – Dance with me in real time from anywhere in the world.
📺 Video On Demand – Access recorded classes anytime, anywhere, on any device.

No matter how you join—whether it’s in the studio, live online, or on your own schedule—expect to move, sweat, smile, and maybe laugh a little too hard. 🥳

Your hips are in good hands (yes, that sounds odd—but trust me on this one!).

Can’t wait to dance with you!

With sparkle, sass & shimmy love,
Miss P 💖
