Absolutely! Almost everyone starts out feeling like they can’t do it. But after a few fun lessons, you will start to feel confident in your own skin as you begin to progress and learn the techniques.

Unlike high-impact training – such as CrossFit, HIIT or running – belly dancing is low-impact, which means anyone can do it. There is no jumping and intense stress on the joints. Just gentle movement that actually makes a difference.

The beauty of Belly Motions is its flexibility! While consistent practice yields the best results, our on-demand classes mean you can fit lessons into your schedule as it suits you.

Our premium package offers live classes for those who prefer a set schedule, but these are also recorded for later viewing.

No! While belly dancing has been misunderstood as a dance solely designed to entice, our approach focuses on empowering women. In our class, you'll find that belly dancing is a form of self-expression that allows women to connect with their own bodies, rather than perform for someone else. Our framework emphasizes dancing for YOURSELF, celebrating your femininity and owning your body.

Contrary to popular Western beliefs that categorize it as an 'Arabian Fantasy,' the roots of belly dance actually trace back to folk dances performed at social events in various Middle Eastern countries. It's only in the last century that it has become commercialized as a form of theatrical entertainment. Our goal is to align more closely with the authentic roots of the dance, focusing on self-empowerment and expression rather than adhering to commercialized, sexualized stereotypes.
