South Morang teen to star at schools spectacular

South Morang teen Rosaliana can’t wait to step onto the stage at Melbourne Arena this Saturday for the Victorian State Schools Spectacular.

The 14-year-old is taking part in the performing arts showcase for the fifth year, but will be performing as a principal dancer for the first time.

For the past four years, Rosaliana has been an ensemble dancer.

The Lakes South Morang College student said taking part in the Victorian State Schools Spectacular was a lot of fun.

She first auditioned for the show after her mum saw it on TV.

“My mum thought it looked like a lot of fun so I auditioned the next year and got in,” Rosaliana said.

“I enjoy meeting new people and getting to express myself through dance.

“I get to perform in a lot of items this year. It is a lot of fun because you do a lot of different styles of dance.”
