"We recently worked with MGA Company Dancers for the Booby Birds Dance Extravaganza in aid of Breast Cancer Charities in Scotland. The Directors and Dancers showed real commitment and professionalism, putting a 40 minute show together for us in less than a month. They brought amazing energy, fun and a high standard of performance to our event and were a pleasure to work with. We wish them every success with their future projects as the company undoubtedly will continue to grow and develop in the near future".

"Workshops for young performers, by young professionals working in the industry is a great idea. In my experience, what students lack is sufficient access to the professional world and to teachers with their fingers on the pulse... Murray and Andrew have really identified and satisfied this need in performing-arts training. Now they've done it, I'm sure everyone will be asking "Why wasn't this ever done before?". It makes such perfect sense!"

"Peer education for performers in training...Young Professionals helping prepare the next generation of Actors, Singers and Dancers. MGA Associates have hit the mark and hit it with flair! Few training programmes available have such strong links with (and such an intimate understanding of) the performance industry."

	*- Chris Hatt* *West End Musical Director*



"As an international theatrical agency, working in musical theatre, we welcome this training program, helping performers understand the 'business' side of performance, and bridging the gap between training and professional performance..."

"I was emailing to thank you for all that you [The MGA Company] taught me over the summer. I entered the Young Musicians of the Year (Gulf) competition and the judges were huge on communication and emotion and I’m not kidding when I say that I learnt so much of that from you. I literally could not have been better prepared thanks to what you taught me!"

"The MGA Company is exactly the kind of thing that performers are looking for work need! The Crusie Ship workshop opened my eyes to what exactly is expected of a dancer working on a cruise ship. The fact that the workshop had an audition feel to it was amazing. Thank you so much MGA and especially Tamlyn for the workshop - I feel so much better prepared for my next cruise ship audition! Top Notch!"

"There is nothing more competitive than the performance industry with the only way to succeed being through determination, skill and surrounding yourself with strong links to the ever-changing scene. Ingeniously MGA Workshops combine all of these elements with fun, creativity and a great way to make friends; as far as performance training goes there simply is no competition!"

“Anthony was excellent! I loved how he showed you the routine once or twice and you had to pick it up right away. It was a great Challenge! He gave great feedback at the end and this workshop especially has left me more eager to achieve more and more in Dance”

“I just wanted to say thankyou again for the great week, was such a fab experience and learnt loads from it! Anyways hope all is going well and looking forward to seeing you both again next summer”

	*- Emily Burns* Audition Technique Workshop 06



“Hi there! I would just like to thank MGA for all their help at the audition technique workshop. Since the workshop I have been to 4 auditions, one of which I have been shortlisted for, and two of which I have been offered contracts. I am now getting ready to move to Portugal to work for the Casino Estoril, Europe's largest Casino! I unfortunately had to turn down a dance and character job for Disneyland Resort Paris. I don't think I could have obtained these jobs without your continual help and support. Thanks again - Best Stuff!”

" As a professional in training I can't tell you how refreshing it is to spend my saturdays being taught by young professionals who create such a high energy environment to work in. Not only do the tutors boast some of the highest qualifications in the business, they also boast fantastic professional CV's! What more could you want from your teachers! Its also amazing to get the chance to work with younger kids who are so amazingly talented. Cant wait for next term! "
