The Leeton High School student has spent the last few months polishing her routine, which incorporates an eclectic mix of contemporary, jazz, and musical theatre techniques passed down through family lines.

Emika comes from four generations of dancers, and she credits everything she knows to her mum who runs the Bella Body and Soul dance studio.

"I've been dancing since I was a little girl, and I really started seriously dancing when I was about 8 or 9," Emika said.

"I like how it's so diverse, and you can connect with different people who all share the same passion."

She's been dancing at concerts and eisteddfods all around Leeton, but the schools spectacular will be the biggest gig she's ever done by a large margin.

The scale of the schools spectacular will be on another level, as it currently holds a Guiness World Record as one of the largest events of its kind.

The schools spectacular will feature a 2700-voice choir, 2300 dancers, 40 featured dancers, a 100-piece symphony orchestra, the D'Arts Ensemble disability program, the Aboriginal Dance Company, puppets, and more.

There will be a total of four performances spread over two days, the first being at 11am on November 22 and the last being on November 23 at 7.30pm at the Qudos Bank Arena at Sydney's Olympic Park.

This will be the 36^th schools spectacular of its kind, and the theme of this year's event is "Stars".
