Less stress.
More connections.
The college experience keeps changing. But your job remains the same - to create a space for students to flourish. We can help with the simplest of tools: play.

Introducing students to skills like Flop Ball and juggling, provides them with a low stakes opportunity to get comfortable with the messy part of learning, drop their armor, be seen, and experience joy.

"Our student leaders learned to work together and trust themselves using the Flop Balls. Paul and Dawn have students think about leadership in an out-of-the-box way that allows them to get creative. We are grateful for their excitement about teaching about leadership."
Dana McStowe, Director of Community Engagement & Leadership Development, Dominican University

Our incoming students really enjoyed learning about teamwork and building connections.  I was nervous about how they would bond with one another, but the workshops were so fun. That made it easy for students to step out of their comfort zone!

Thank you SO much! Our students LOVED the session. Students were carrying their Flop Balls around today as we were welcoming new students. They keep reminding me and their fellow students that play is important, especially when trying to recharge. Thank you for coming and offering resources for them. This really is worth it.

Dawn and Paul from Flow Circus truly know how to 'juggle' professionalism with kinetic play! Our collaboration was seamless and their engaging delivery kept our students on their toes, both mentally and physically. Their unique approach was a 'ball', blending fun and valuable lessons with ease. A must-have experience for any group looking to elevate their dynamics. Highly recommend!

It was a great experience having Flow Circus for RA Training! We really enjoyed the enthusiasm and energy Dawn and Paul brought and how they incorporated introspection and awareness. Flop balls have a lot of potential to increase student engagement on our campus.

The whole session flowed so well and I could see how our students were resonating with the activities. The debrief was powerful - your small group questions helped them reflect on how their juggling experience connected to real life applications around their well-being and resilience. I wouldn't change anything.
