According to the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Eleventh Edition, the word beguine is a noun with two definitions and pronunciations.

Bequine pronounced BAY-geen or bay-GEEN (hard 'g' sound) means a member of a community of women devoted to philanthropy and asceticism but not under vows in the Netherlands during the 13th century.

Bequine pronounced bi-GEEN (bi with an 'i' as in sit, hard 'g' in geen) is a dance that resembles the rhumba that is popular on the Caribbean islands of Saint Lucia and Martinique.
