Creation Studio

We'd like to honor our second Creation Studio senior - Lucia MacLean!

Lucia's favorite song she danced to at Creation Studio was - Overthinking.

After graduation Lucia will be attending Cayuga Community College for her GED’s then plans to transfer to Onondaga for the music program.

The friendships she's made through dance are her best dance memory.

If she could tell her 5 year old self one thing it would be-
Throughout the rocky journey of your life, no matter what situation you’re in, your mom is always going to be your best friend and be with you through all your hardest moments.

Lucia's spiritual advice for younger dancers is:
It doesn’t matter if the world is against you, believe in yourself no matter what, and remember God will always be in your corner!

God has wonderful plans for you Lucia! Congratulations and best of luck!

Today we'd like to recognize our first graduating senior Olivia Emmons!

Olivia’s favorite song she’s danced to at Creation is Brother.

Olivia plans to attend Houghton University in the Fall. She has declared a major in Bible & Theology and Psychology with an intention of becoming a marriage and family therapist.

Her spiritual advice for younger dancers is:
You don’t have to be perfect. So many people, especially dancers think they have to be perfect. Just do it with joy. Love it because you love it.

Liv we pray that you continue to shine God’s light through your joy wherever God takes you!

GREAT job tonight dancers! I'm so proud of your hard work! Can't wait to see it all come together tomorrow! A couple of updates and reminders:

1. It was HOT tonight...I've done everything I can to talk to those in charge...but I'm not ultimately in control and have no idea if A/C will be working fully tomorrow or not. Pray with me that it is. But plan accordingly with water for your dancers!! We will have bottles for sale as well.

2. A message from Backstage Managers: Please make sure that dancers who need to be stage LEFT are stage LEFT and RIGHT are stage RIGHT and they CANNOT walk at the back of the stage where the white curtain is for lighting, it shakes it and is visible from audience. Please have all dancers use the hallway to cross from one side to the other. Miss Erin will be there to do her best to direct this tomorrow. Parent helpers don't stress so much about have them in order, wait until we get them to the wings them order them. We will help backstage.

3. If you preordered flowers for your dancer they will be availble for pick up, we still have lots left, but just buy them when you get there don't email me because I may not see it! When you pick up state your name and that you preordered. They will be set aside for you. Reminder $20 for each bouquet and cash or check made out to OCCS will be payment methods.

4. Make sure your dancers eat/drink healthy snack/lunch on their way to recital tomorrow.

Pointe work is so incredibly hard! It takes sacrifice, endurance, hard work, and determination. Breaking down strongholds in our lives and taking our thoughts captive is the same. It doesn't happen magically, you have to work at it, replacing lies you've believed with God's truth. Repeatedly, diligently, with prayer, with determination. Changing the neural pathways in your brain to go a new way, God's way. Making your thoughts become obedient to Christ.

All but 2 of our our pointe dancers are first year pointe students. We're pretty sure you're going to be blown away by how far they've come and how beautifully they dance. But remember to achieve that beauty and grace took a lot of time, hard work and perseverance (even some blood sweat and tears at times).

We hope you recital tomorrow challenges you to not give up on taking your thoughts captive!

Tickets will also be available at the door.
