At Beledi, we are committed to the well-being of women, to helping you to find that welcoming place inside yourself where confidence and strength are born. Beledi was created as a haven for women for the purpose of empowering and nourishing the feminine spirit through dance, while experiencing a sense of community.  

You are invited to enter a place where the feminine spirit is honored, and size, weight, and age do not exist.  "Jiggling" is allowed - and even expected! With all of the expectations we place upon ourselves to achieve an ideal -but unrealistic- body type, perhaps it's time to give yourself a break and learn to love yourself just the way you are!

Beledi has many creative movement and dance fitness classes to suit your needs,  for every body type and fitness level.  Our boutique provides a unique shopping experience for those who enjoy gifts and clothing from the rich, exotic cultures around the world.  Many items are hard to find, or one of a kind.  And for those who need a little TLC, Beledi provides clinical massage therapy.

ABOUT OUR DANCE PROGRAMS:

Bellydance is a fun, energizing way to lose weight, tone and strenghten muscles. From its humble origins as exercise to prepare a woman's body for childbirth and recover afterwards, Bellydance has many health benefits. It provides one of the best low impact aerobic workouts - burning approximately 300-500 calories, strengthening the lower back and pelvic floor muscles, as well as increasing your range of motion and natural lubrication for joints and connective tissue. Everyone should try this once - just to say you did it!

 

Need something fun - and inexpensive - to do for a date night?  Try our Friday evening Couple's Date Night class. We will teach communication between dance partners, basic steps, turns, and how to lead and follow.  We will cover Latin, swing, slo-dance, blues, and other forms of couple's dance. If you've ever sat in the corner having a beer while your partner was dancing with friends, or if you can't get your shy significant other to dance with you, then this class may just be your solution!  Brush up for your holiday party, weddings, or just clubbing.  At just $15 per couple, it's a great investment in your future events.

Who knew a childhood toy would be the latest fitness craze? Hoopercise is a new and innovative trend that's heating up physical fitness centers across the country, and now it's here at Beledi!  Lose up to two inches and four pounds a month - just by letting your childhood hobby become your workout routine.  Using special comfort fitness hoops, even those who've never been able to hula-hoop will find it easy!  Our licensed instructors will help you get in shape while having tons of fun.

Kelly's dance fitness for weight loss is an aerobic dance program designed to help you burn calories and shape your body.  You'll use several forms of dance from bellydance to hip-hop and body sculpting moves.  Specially priced at $25 per month, you'll find it an amazing addition to your fitness routine!

Clogging is a traditional American dance similar to tap dancing.  Its origins are Appalachian, and the results are a fun, calorie-burning, stepping good time. 

Want to get in touch with your untapped, ultra-feminine side?  Try our Private Dancer class.  It's a sensual workout similar to pole-dancing - without the pole. You will love the total freedom you feel - and the laughter you will share. (It's also listed as one of the top 10 workouts for a more muscular body.) So leave  your inhibitions at the door and dare to try something different! 

Lunchtime workouts may be just what you need to get you through the day.  Take a break from your job or errands and energize yourself with Bellyrobics, Hoopercise or Salsa For Lunch.  For just $5, it's a bargain! 

See a class you want but it doesn't work with your schedule?  Just ask!  We would be happy to work with your busy life!
