Dancehalldyke & Sluttyhands

Sluttyhands (he/him) and Dancehalldyke (she/her) are San Francisco Bay based rope artists. Sluttyhands has been tying for eleven years, Dancehalldyke for eight. They both primarily tie in fairly traditional Japanese styles while working in dynamic transitions and emotional tension. Their tying together typically focuses on going to dark and vulnerable places and playing with strong emotions, ranging from violent and rough, to creepy and distant, and occasionally even to sincere and loving. You'll learn new ways of exploring each other with rope, and gain concrete tools beyond patterns that allow you to relate and communicate with each other effectively. To their rope classes, Dancehalldyke brings her past as a classical ballet person and 15 years of experience teaching collegiate math and physics, and is a student of Barkas. Sluttyhands brings in a martial arts background, a past as a math and computer science professor, and a love of fast-paced, restrictive, and challenging shapes and sequences. They have been teaching rope together for two years nationally and internationally, and have presented together and separately at Vox Body Studio, Temple New York, Birdhaus Toronto, The Jungle House Costa Rica, and more.
