Xanadu Belly Dance Studio

I visited today and found out that Kathy Ferguson had passed away. The teacher today was Tara and she was beautiful, lively, and encouraging. The setting is lively and beautifully decorated. I do wish that I had met Kathy...

Found Kathryn Ferguson and the Xanadu Dance Studio in 2005 when I took the Middle Eastern Dance class via Pima Community College, and have since continued with the classes at the studio. Kathryn is such a joy to learn from and has great energy during class - as does her other teacher standins, such as Sandy. It's an hour escape from the stresses of life just to go and enjoy wonderful Arabic music and let loose.Her Xanadu Dance Troupe have also performed at various Tucson festivals.

I joined Xanadu in Fall of 2008 to try something new and different. I've never felt more comfortable/sexy in my own skin than I have since this experience. My friend and I had so much fun every class and made some good friends. We both started with no dance experience, so it is extremely easy to start! I highly recommend.I danced for just over a year, but have shifted my focus to swimming & triathlon training. My friend is still there (and in the Dance Troupe!).

My family members and I can attest to the quality and authenticity of Kathryn's teaching, being from the Mediterranean ourselves, her Egyptian style is the best. Our daughter has benefitted from this great environment.

Kathryn Ferguson is amazing! She is very kind and an amazing instructor! She has a way of making me feel like her studio is a safe place. She has shown me how to do adaptations of her routine. She is a beautiful person, impressive dancer and a caring teacher. I couldn't ask for a better experience!

Started at Xanadu as a beginner and loved the entire experience! Kathryn is a kind and fun professional and classes felt equally balanced between warming up, focusing on new moves and muscle groups, dance sequences, rhythm, and culture! Great atmosphere - would highly recommend!
