"Infinite Flow has opened my eyes to the true meaning of having a disability. No matter how visible or invisible our disability is, we all have the power to achieve and succeed beyond our expectations. Through working with Infinite Flow, I've been able to witness some of the most compelling examples of people young and old overcome some of the most extreme examples of adversity. This was especially inspiring to me as a gay man who is very active in my LGBTQ community. Knowing that no matter what the adversity is, we can all use dance to come together and find community, building each other up in more than one way." - Tony Nunez - Infinite Flow Company Dancer

"Thank you to Infinite Flow, I now see myself as a leader in the fight for inclusion in our community, and I hope our voices are heard loud and proud." - DD Snyder, Infinite Flow Kids Member, 15. Survivor of homophobia & anti-semitism. Junior audio describer.

“I am very grateful that we have the opportunity to be part of this movement where people with different abilities can show their talent to the world. I am grateful that Marisa is always looking for ways to educate our society about different abilities and their talents. She has the passion to educate our young generation about inclusion which is very important.” - Nicte Mack, Infinite Flow Kids Parent

“My whole family has found the group to be a place we can feel a sense of community and also advocate for the values of inclusion we feel are so important." - Natalie Noblitt, Infinite Flow Kids Parent

“I think inclusion is important to me because it shows that people are not just people standing on two legs. There are people with autism, there are people who are deaf, there are people who have to leave from home. It doesn't matter who you are, you can dance anywhere you want. You can have friends even though they might be different from you.”
- Nicolas Noblitt, Infinite Flow Kids Member, 12

"Infinite Flow has opened my eyes to a new perspective on accessibility for ALL. It fills me with joy to see people unite through the language of dance no matter who you are. I have a deaf sister. Seeing my sister so happy seeing the interpreters and captions (during the Scoops of Inclusion film) brought me tears of joy because we need more of that. More accessibility. It's a human right." - Rosa Penate, Regular ASL Interpreter since 2019

"Thankful to be working with a company who promotes change on a global level, fighting to eradicate stigmas of disability and making #inclusion cool for everyone! Once you step outside our studio set, what you see is a loving community, helping each other prep, and talk about what this means for them." - Kenzo Le, Infinite Flow's Go-To-Cinematographer since 2016

"No constraint can diminish the infinite potential of a human being. When I work with dancers from Infinite Flow, I can feel the excuses of my own inadequacies disintegrate, leaving only a fiery motivation to be and do more with every second of my beautiful life. One day people will replace the word disability with different abilities." - Phillip Chbeeb, Choreographer

"I recently approached Marisa for consultation on inclusive language around disability. With all her experience creating innovative work with Infinite Flow Dance, I knew she would be able to guide me in the right direction. Her insights were incredibly helpful, and I learned so much from her expertise. As we all work toward stronger DEI efforts I know now more than ever that language matters. Marisa was a kind, thoughtful, non-judging partner as I navigated our approach on this topic."
- Amy Smith, Chief Strategy and Impact Officer, TOMS

"Infinite Flow was an entertaining and enlightening performer to have at a college campus. Those in attendance thought they were a hit! I highly encourage any schools or youth organizations who work with students ranging from elementary to university level. Any student can enjoy and experience something new with Infinite Flow! Marisa was also amazing to work with as the founder." - Roger Fang, Student Activities Assistant, California State Polytechnic University Pomona

"Our missions, vision and goals have always shared a same intention; to accept, embrace and empower all individuals with physical mental and emotional disabilities through dance and the arts. Marisa is a true leader and global influencer; she uses her passion, talent and training for dance and education as her platform to advocate for inclusivity and empowerment for all disabilities. No matter your mobility or sensory challenge ALL are welcome."
- Laura Sharpe, Sponsor. Founder, Artist for Trauma

"The inclusivity and creativity of Infinite Flow were new and refreshing for our students. It was not only a fun experience, but it inspired conversation and learning."
- Liz Vacco, Gabriella Charter School Educator

"The students were engaged and the parents and community members so impressed!!! Thank you for making a difference in the lives of many!!!"
- Lisa Schnauss, Linwood E Howe Elementary School Educator

“Thank you for providing such an enriching experience for our students and families. I look forward to reminding our students of the 7 acts or "scoops" of inclusion each week when I conduct Principal Assemblies via Zoom. Thank you!” - Rebecca Godbey, La Ballona Elementary School Principal

“As a parent and a leader, I’m beyond impressed with the richness of the education program offered by Scoops of Inclusion. This is more than just a short film and virtual school assembly. It creates space for children to share and for parents to listen, REALLY listen. My children are still talking about the lessons they learned and how they felt long after the program ended. Marisa and the Infinite Flow Dance team have built a program that’s educational, thought-provoking, and most importantly inclusive by design.” - Ben Tamblyn, Director of Inclusive Design, Microsoft

"Our Scoops of Inclusion event with Infinite Flow at Comcast NBCUniversal was AMAZING! Many of our employees were able to watch the film with their children which was both joyful and prompted great family discussions about how to practice inclusion in our daily lives. The cast and crew of Infinite Flow are guaranteed to bust apart negative stereotypes and stigma about disability in the most fun, soulful, and artistic way possible. We also loved hearing everyone’s authentic stories in the panel discussion that followed the film. We all need more Infinite Flow in our lives!"
- Lori Samuels, Accessibility Director, NBCUniversal.

“The diversity presented in the video was impactful and valuable. The storyline and characters introduced a variety of differences that students may encounter and demonstrated how to be inclusive and respectful to others. The format was kid friendly.” - Educator

"I learned that we all have differences, but that is what makes us special and unique. Even if someone looks different does not mean that we should not treat them respect.” - 5th Grader

"What I learned from the film: Be proud who you are! even if your different we all have one thing in common. We are humans. Just because you have a disability doesn't mean you have to be left out, or if you like your gender it doesn't mean you should get beat up or be make fun of. Be PROUD. You are you. no one can change that.” - 5th Grader
