Positive Spin
The "Positive Spin" program is a 60-minute performance for elementary school-aged children that empowers every student to turn negative situations into positive ones through the use of two simple words - "Spin it"
The performance addresses issues that are important to elementary and middle schoolers and affect them on a daily basis. "Ooch" discusses and offers the students tips and tricks relating to such issues as popularity, making and keeping friends, earning respect of teachers and peers, becoming comfortable in your own skin, bullying and dealing with failure. Through the use of his own personal stories and the help of music, magic, imagination, yo-yos and dance, Ooch puts a positive spin on the challenges of growing up.
