A Hillside boy is among 2000 students preparing to wow audiences at the John Cain Arena on September 9 for the Victorian State Schools Spectacular (VSSS).

The VSSS is a proud tradition in government schools and offers students the opportunity to take part in a performing arts showcase to thousands of people live and on television.

This year’s show, Happy Travels, will follow an intrepid group of hapless tourists as they traverse the globe in a cavalcade of circus mayhem.

Aydin, 14, is a year eight student at Copperfield College who will be taking to the stage as a principal dancer for the show, and he said he is feeling pumped about it.

“It is going to be an amazing experience that I will remember forever, I didn’t expect for something this big to happen so early,” he said.

“Practice is going really good for me and the whole team… The whole show just looks super epic.

“I love being able to express my feelings and emotions through dance and I really love the art of dance.”
