Crystal Bindi Studios

Specialties

We believe that learning to love the way your body was designed to move is the key to a healthy happy life. So we designed this dance community as a safe place for anyone of any age, size, or fitness level. Whether it’s Drumming or Dancing, Ballroom or Bellydance, from the cardio of Zumba to the chill of Yoga, or anything in between, we offer a host of activities for the child in every grownup, and no experience is required. Let us introduce you to the power of positive movement for every body!

History

Established in 2005.

We started as Beledi Global Dance Center (beledi is an Arabic word for «of the country») as a Bellydance and Yoga studio. As we grew and added a larger variety of dance and fitness classes, we morphed into Crystal Bindi Studios. It is now the only studio in Northern Michigan offering this unique combination of dance and fitness classes, and we’re still growing!

Meet the Business Owner

Penelope M.

Business Owner

Once upon a time a housewife decided to put on sequins and tassels and learn to Bellydance. She was joined by her daughter Adrian, who went a step further and pursued the Art as a profession. The lessons they learned through dance would change their lives forever, for they became strong women who loved themselves for who they were. Life was beautiful, but dark times were soon to fall. Adrian was lost in a car accident, and afterwards her Mom decided that in order to honor her life, she too would become a professional dancer and teacher. And so began the journey of Crystal Bindi Studios, named after the jewel worn on Adrian’s forehead. Penny now spends her life teaching women of all ages and sizes that beauty has many forms, and that everything we need can be found within ourselves — we just need the courage to find it. Though many new dance classes and styles have been added, the studio remains rooted in the community found in the most ancient of women’s dances.
