CLIENT SUCCESS STORY OF THE MONTH 🥇🥇🥇
➡️ Lost 10 inches in her waist
➡️ Mom in her 40s with a 21 year old son
➡️ No dance experience
➡️ Works Full Time
This mom used to weigh over 300+ pounds and had gastric bypass surgery. She lost over 100+ pounds from the surgery but gained 50 pounds back despite working with doctors.
After working with me for 12 weeks in the SUPER MOMS BOOTCAMP, SHE LOST 10 INCHES AROUND HER WAIST.
Through the comprehensive food sensitivity test included in the Super Moms Bootcamp, she found out that she had a gluten and dairy sensitivity. Since this discovery, she eliminated it (with some cheat days), and now experiencing less bloating.
She showed up for herself and every day, changed her mindset, her daily habits, used the recipes, did the workouts and showed up for the weekly accountability calls.
She had never danced before in her life. She moved her body in ways she never thought was possible. She fell in love with stretching. She ate food she had never tried.
She developed a daily routine where exercise and mindful nutrition is now apart of her daily lifestyle.
I am so proud of her, not just for her weight loss, but for her new healthy habits.
She didn’t have enough money to join the SUPER MOMS BOOTCAMP, but she took out a personal loan to make it happen.
If there is a will, there is a will. She made it happen.
She knew she would spend more in medical bills later in life if she didn’t make a huge lifestyle change now.
She already knew what it felt like to be unhealthy and she didn’t want to go back.
She invested in herself and it’s paying off.
The surgery gave her a jump start and the SUPER MOMS BOOTCAMP gave her the foundation that she needed to give her lifestyle a makeover so she can live a long and healthy life.
If you are a mom struggling with your health, fitness, nutrition and want to boost energy, confidence, let's talk.
I'm here for you. 🥰

I am back from my summer travels and filmed a HIIT workout and sunset stretch on the weekend at my parent's cabin (middle of nowhere in BC).
I can't wait to release these new classes in my SUPER MOMS BOOTCAMP and MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP.
My 2.5 year old has been my workout buddy since he was a baby and it's heart warming to watch him imitate me now. Our kids are sponges and watch our every move... literally.
Now that summer is almost over, I am accepting new mom clients.
If you have kids, it's back to school time and time to get back into YOUR GROOVE again... literally.
MOMS! Let's DANCE your way back into shape!
If you would like to be considered to work with me, send me a DM or comment below.
Before DANCE with Menina existed, I created PRENATAL DANCE during my first pregnancy which has been available on Amazon for a decade.
Here is a TV appearance I did with Good Morning Texas where I did an interview and a live dance demo with 2 beautiful pregnant women.
My journey helping moms to be and mothers started over a decade ago and now I offer solutions for moms at every stage (prenatal, postpartum & all the way to menopause)

Let me show you how to DANCE THROUGH MOTHERHOOD!
My name is Menina Fortunato and I am an expert in dance and mom of 3 - aka the DANCE MOM.
I help moms get their dream body through dance based workouts without sacrificing time with their kids.
After I had my 3rd baby at home during the lockdown, I suddenly wasn’t able to travel, teach, perform or produce any live dance events.
My dance career of 25+ years came to a halt & I was going through an identity crisis.
I turned to dance for both my mental & physical health & got myself back into shape dancing with my baby without leaving the house
This led to the creation of DANCE WITH MENINA - an online dance fitness program designed busy moms
I started working with moms and babies & now I’m focused on my SUPER MOMS BOOTCAMP which is a comprehensive 6 month transformational coaching program to help out of shape busy moms become happy, fit and healthy SUPER MOMS.
If you are a mom tired of feeling out of shape, have low energy, don’t feel confident in your own skin, I can help you.
I’m looking for moms ready to finally get their dream body, make themselves a priority, take massive action & invest in themselves.
If this sounds like you comment, I AM A SUPER MOM

During her 12 weeks she faced a lot of life obstacles.
She helped her youngest daughter move out of home to another state for university.
She got sick with Covid and was down for 1-2 weeks.
She also had been traveling for personal and business reasons & she was still able to do the on demand workouts in her hotel rooms. 💪🏼
Even though she wasn’t able to follow the meal plans all the time, especially while dining out/traveling, she was able to make smart foods choices. 🥗🥙 🥑 🥦 🥬 🥒 🌶 🫑 🌽
Despite all the obstacles she faced, she still had amazing results. 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼

We are already 6 months into the year!!🤯 The first half of the year may have been disappointing for your weight, health, energy and confidence… but the second half can be different‼️
I couldn’t imagine a life where I’d have to look back and ask myself: “what if I would’ve taken the action towards what I truly wanted?”..🤔😞
Maybe the first half of the year was extra challenging. You kept saying “I’ll start later when…”.. and then the when never came.. ⏰
When will you change that narrative?
What I’ve discovered is often times, the things I said I “couldn’t do until..”❌, were actually the things I “had to do in order to..”✅. Does that sound familiar?
The truth is, our outcomes are simply a reflection of our decisions. So, if you want different results, you need to think & act differently.
Imagine the next 6 months you could have..
🍑 The dream body you’ve always wanted.
🤩 The energy to keep up with your growing kids.
👑 The confidence to walk into any room
🙏🏻 The ability to gracefully balance & enjoy motherhood
❌ No more feeling crappy about yourself.
❌ No more making excuses for yourself
❌ No more feeling shame about your body.
❌ No more more eating food that doesn’t fuel you
❌ No more beating yourself down.
❌ No more putting yourself last.🙅🏼♀️
Remember that the “thing” you think is holding you back is the “thing” you have to figure out and overcome to get what you truly want.
It doesn’t have to be difficult. You just have to decide that enough is enough, and you’re done putting off the changes you know you need to make and say YES to YOU!!! You deserve it!
➡️ I’m taking on 5 new mom clients in July. Comment below if you want to be considered and let’s get your health and fitness back on track🚀
PS: I have never had a client regret working with me. Those who went all in got results and are forever grateful for the transformation they received. What are you waiting for?
Let’s make the next 6 months count.
Love,
MENINA 🌹

Have you seen Jennifer Lopez 's new documentary HALFTIME?
Even though I don't agree with everything she says or does, I can relate to her journey as a professional dancer / performer, especially as a mother.
She has defied the standards of motherhood and middle aged women. She has show n the world that you can be a mother, have a career and still be sexy.
I understand how society dismisses mothers, especially in the world of entertainment.
I talk to mothers all the time who have limiting beliefs for themselves. They are so immersed into their children's lives, they forget or given up on taking care of themselves.
Some mothers have accepted their new mom bodies and don't think they can ever feel sexy and confident in their skin again. They reminisce about their body before baby as a thing of the past.
I want to help change society's standards of motherhood.
I am "middle aged", have 3 kids but I refuse to accept society's standards for me. I want to show moms that they too can be their best self at any age.
I WANT TO HELP MOTHERS GET THEIR DREAM BODY, so they can feel confident, sexy, energized, fit, healthy and be the SUPER MOM that they are.
Embrace your "inner JLo" ;-)
If you are a mom (any age), repeat after me and comment below...
I AM BEAUTIFUL
I AM CONFIDENT
I AM WORTHY
I AM SEXY
I AM A SUPER MOM
