George Ferguson

After growing up in Coventry, George rose in status as a talented Irish dancer, and his passion for the art soon grew to a level of international reckoning, as George performed and competed around the globe. In 1972, George competed in the World Irish Dancing Championships (sometimes referred to as the World Championships for Irish Dance) and took the title at the tender age of 16; == George Ferguson School of Irish Dancing == The Irish Dancing institution which George established, and has run for 26 years, is amongst the best on Merseyside. The school holds classes at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels and accommodates all ages and both sexes. The school's ethos is of a friendy and social attitude towards dance, whilst maintaining a standard of excellence and diligence in regards to performances and competitions. Indeed, there are some outstanding performers enrolled at the school, including many who have won countless awards at feises around the country. Perhaps what the institution is most famous for is its continuing participation in the Liverpool Irish Festival. As well as this, the school is often featured in the Irish Dancing & Culture Magazine [1], and is generally recognised as one of the best Merseyside academies. Last year, the school performed in Germany to great acclaim.

Ferguson was born on 12 September 1883, on a farm near Joliette, North Dakota, where his parents had come from Ontario.
Ferguson’s training in theology, economics and medicine, as well as his labors on the farm, all contributed to his skills in running a sanatorium and in getting people to work together.
Ferguson tried to instill in his patients "that ’the cure’ is not a bottle of medicine, nor a surgical operation, but an idea; a way of life to apply to every moment of the day, every activity." A spirit of cheerfulness, good humor kindliness and forbearance was also part of the cure.
