What’s new at Beledi this summer? Classes for Seniors! We understand the challenges of finding an exercise routine that’s easy on the joints. That’s why we’ve taken two of our favorite classes, Bellydance and Zumba, and have adjusted them to fit the needs of our vintage students!
Try Bellydance for the Mature Goddess at 10:15am on Wednesdays, or Golden Zumba (utilizing a chair) at 10:15am on Thursdays. We will add new classes as the need arises, so please feel free to give us any feedback on the subject!

No matter what the temperature says, Summer is approaching. During the summer months we will be switching our focus to bring you more daytime classes so you can enjoy your evenings outdoors!
We have increased our five dollar lunchtime offerings, and have added a 6am dance workout on Thursday mornings. On Tuesday mornings at 10am we will have a Mom’s Play Date dance workout class, and will have a different theme every week, from Bellydance to Latin, from Cardio Dance to Hip Hop. This class will be $10, but if you drop off your 3-7 yr old at Kindermusik next door, you pay only $5! Come in for a kindermusik schedule or call Melinda Lise at (231)631-7751
*note* We try to make it easy on Moms. If your child is old enough to either sit quietly or participate, you may bring them to class during the summer months!
And last but not least, no Summer would be complete without Hawaiian Hula lessons! Don’t miss our Polynesian workshop on June 27th from 1-4pm!

Beledi is honored to partner this year with Let’s Get Moving Northern Michigan. Considering that the average dance class will be the equivalent of 3-4 miles, it’s a fabulous way to jump start that annual summer slim-down program!
This year, Beledi has created a team called the Beledi Bombshells. We will compete with other teams for the most mileage per person, and there are all kinds of cool prizes. So, to encourage you to sign up, I will give anyone who enrolls on the team a 10% discount on 4 or 6 week classes purchased now through June 19th !
To sign up, go to www.lgmnm.org and click the “sign up” link. It will direct you to a questionaire, and then will give you a drop down menu of which team you would like to join.
The site also has some great resources, such as a wellness menu that helps you convert your activity into mileage (15 minutes of swimming, 12 minutes of vigorous dancing (THINK ZUMBA!), 15 minutes of stretching, 18 minutes of bicycling equal one mile). You can have a lot of fun, vary your activities, and get fit. So, let’s get moving with Beledi and make this summer your best yet!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support during our transition from our downtown location to Logan’s Landing. We are all settled in now and loving our space. The beautiful Boardman River, reflected in the mirrors as we dance, lends a peaceful atmosphere and a sense of well being. I have to admit that as the economy took a downturn and we prepared to move, we assumed we would have to downsize. But sometimes we are surprised by the blessings life has to offer. It’s as if this space (empty for two years) was just waiting for us to make it our own. We now have a larger main floor and a separate room for other classes, a room for massage therapy, and showers and lockers! But the biggest blessing of all lies in the ladies who have followed us to Logan’s Landing to fill this place with their positive energy. Thank all of you for the encouragement you have been to me! See you on the dance floor!
