Pretty Mean Things: Floor rope for sensation & aesthetics

Rope can highlight or distort the body to create a particular mood or visual effect, providing sensations that range from comforting compression to a viscous bite. This class will teach a range of straightforward, flexible patterns designed to facilitate connection and creativity. Whether your style leans sweet, seductive, or sadistic, you’ll leave with new ways to make your rope both pretty and mean. Ties may include a quick-release column tie, bunny ears variation, face rope, body harness, and a bent leg tie, as well as exercises focused on tension, rope handling, and aesthetic intention. Pre-requisites: This is an advanced beginner to intermediate floorwork class. Attendees should be familiar with single-column ties and bondage negotiation/risk awareness basics, and have the body awareness and communication skills to participate at a level that is safe(r) for them. The focus of this class is partnered tying, but activities can be modified to allow self-tying. Instructors will not pair people up, so please come with a partner or plan to self-tie. Bring at least one piece of ~30' rope; one piece of ~15' rope recommended. Hemp or jute preferred. Cutting tool.
