Practicing at school is one thing, but dancing surrounded by hundreds of other students is a completely different experience!

Swipe through for a look at our Mass Dance rehearsals happening across Victoria.

These combined sessions are a huge step for our Mass Dancers. It’s their first real chance to navigate the spacing, match the energy of a massive crowd, and see how the choreography looks at scale.

Huge thanks to Associate Dance Director Hara, the VSSS dance alum assisting her, and Coordinator Darren for all the work they put into these regional blocks to get everyone ready for the arena.

Over the last 30 years, thousands of students have stepped onto our stage before taking on the world.

Now, we’re sitting down with them to look back on the shared memories, the lasting friendships and the invaluable life lessons they still carry with them today from their time at the Victorian State Schools Spectacular.

The Alumni Series. Coming soon.

Hard not to smile when your weekends look like this!

Across Victoria, students and teachers are all coming together for our Mass rehearsals!

Here’s some photos from our recent Mass Choir rehearsals (Mass Dance photos coming soon!)

It’s been a joy to watch students from different school communities form new friendships, build self-esteem, and refine their skills as they learn their choreography and vocal arrangements!

Thank you to our Choir Music Associate, Clare, and our Administration Coordinator Darren for travelling throughout the state to lead and coordinate these regional sessions and prepare our students for the stage!
