Students from St Albans Meadows Primary School are putting on their dancing shoes as they prepare for the big screen at the 2023 Victorian State Schools Spectacular on September 9.
The annual Schools Spectacular extravaganza performance will take place at John Cain Arena with 1100 students from across Victoria participating in the mass dance group this year
St Albans Meadows Primary School performing arts teacher, Emilia Rio-Scaddan said the students have been working tirelessly to put their best foot forward for the show.
“The State School Spectacular provides the students with an amazing opportunity to perform in a professional setting as well as working with professional choreographers, directors and artists,” she said.
“We have 16 students participating across grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 and they absolutely love it.
“The students have a dance class each week to practice and then they are so excited that they rehearse through their lunch time as well.”
Ms Rio-Scaddan said she has been worshiping with the students for their performance from the beginning of the year.
“We break things down for the students, they continue to work on it and then they get to perform the skills they’ve developed all year at the show,” she said
“I am very proud of them and I’m really excited to see them perform and reach their full potential.”
This year’s show follows an intrepid group of hapless tourists as they traverse the globe in a cavalcade of circus mayhem.
Circus artists, puppeteers, musicians, singers, dancers and skaters are all included in the show, which will be broadcast at a later date.
