Why It’s Never Too Early to Book Dan Kirk, The Juggler With The Yellow Shoes, for Your Winter School Assembly

For schools across Wisconsin and the Midwest, winter can feel long, gray, and a little bit sluggish. Students get restless, teachers juggle (pun intended!) a heavier workload, and administrators look for meaningful ways to keep school culture energized. That’s exactly why so many principals and activity directors choose Dan Kirk, The Juggler With The Yellow Shoes, for their winter assemblies—and why booking early is not just smart, but essential.

Winter is one of the highest-demand seasons for school assemblies. Between family nights, PBIS incentives, pep rallies, and morale-boosting events that break up the cold months, November through March fills quickly. Many schools wait until the first sign of snow to begin planning, but by then, the prime dates are often gone. Booking early ensures you’re ahead of the curve and guarantees that your school gets the date—and the program—you really want.

Dan offers six educational, hilarious, and highly engaging assemblies, and schools often bring him back year after year. His reputation across the Midwest means winter requests for his STOP Bullying, Reading Is GRAND, and Science of Juggling programs stack up fast. Once teachers experience how Dan captivates students and reinforces school values through fun, skill, and storytelling, they tend to rebook immediately—further tightening that winter calendar.

Another reason to schedule early: flexibility. When you reserve your date in advance, you get more control over timing, whether you prefer a morning kickoff, an afternoon celebration, or multiple presentations to accommodate a large student body. Early booking also makes budgeting easier—schools appreciate Dan’s all-inclusive pricing, which covers travel anywhere in the Midwest. Plan ahead now and there are zero last-minute surprises later.

Winter assemblies with Dan also deliver something uniquely powerful: energy and inspiration during the months students need it most. When the weather turns cold and motivation dips, an assembly that mixes learning with laughter can reset the entire tone of the school. Students walk away smiling, teachers feel recharged, and the school community benefits from a shared experience that’s both educational and memorable.

So if you’ve been thinking about bringing in a speaker or performer this winter, don’t wait until the snow piles up. Now is the perfect time to reserve your date with Dan Kirk, The Juggler With The Yellow Shoes. Your students will love it, your staff will appreciate it, and you’ll be glad you planned ahead before the winter rush begins.
