Roxburgh College student Nazli Igrat will be taking to the stage for 2024 Victorian State Schools Spectacular on September 14.
The annual schools spectacular performance will take place at John Cain Arena for two shows at 1pm and 6.30pm.
Nazli was chosen as a principal dancer, and despite this being her fifth time in the spectacular, she was just as excited to be a part of the night once again.
“I immediately went up to her mum and I was so excited to get the role again and I was like, ‘oh my god it’s like my final year. I get to be principal dancer again,’” she said.
Nazli also said she is most looking forward to the crowd reacting to all the hard work paying off when it is time to perform.
“I’m most looking forward to the audience, I’m so excited to have an audience get to watch what I’ve been like training for for the whole year since I’ve dedicated all my Sundays,” she said.
“I’ve been so excited to get the audience’s reactions to what I do. I do some special parts in the dancing like I get to jump off the stage and I get to have special moments that symbolise who I am as a person.”
This year’s show includes more than 3000 students and follows a little girl’s dream sequence, sailing across the seas, exploring rivers, and delving into life above and beneath the waves, right down to the microscopic world of a drop of dew.
