"Karen is the finest example I can think of when I want to define a quality representative of the dance in both technique and attitude. She elevates this dance form in everything she does and says. She is a life-long student of this beautiful, cultural dance form and has tried to honor the traditions and history of Middle Eastern Dance--while expanding the vocabulary with her rich and creative choreographies."
"Karen Custer Thurston is a Turkish~Egyptian dancer in the classical, as well as the folkloric sense. Her enormous integrity as a dancer and instructor has earned her high acclaim among a wide and varied audience. She cares deeply about the quality of dance performance and emphasizes strong technical skills. She has been rewarded with a talented and loyal following."
"To study with Karen opens me to the raw nature of the dance. The mastery, knowledge and passion that Karen displays as a dancer and as a person continues to inspire me. I am blessed to call her 'teacher'."
