They do not come more professional than Vivian Gayle. Viv has been a guest at MAMT since we opened in 2016 and every visit is the highlight of the academic calendar. His performance credits and attitude towards the students are exemplary and every time he visits, we receive fantastic feedback from whichever group he works with. His care for the performers of the future as well as his knowledge and experience in the industry make him a firm favorite. We look forward to working with you again soon Viv!.

Vivian was brilliant with all our groups from reception to year 6 including our resource base. He modified each African dance routine to fit the age group he was working with. All children loved the experience.I watched a lot of the classes perform and they all were enjoying it throughout. The teaching was excellent.
