This is our fan favorite "fuck around and find out" class. Yeah, the one with the rubber chickens and 3D printed spikes and bandanas. We promise it will make sense (and be fun) when you come to class.

Maybe you've never touched rope before; you don't need to know anything for this class in order to start using it with intention and connection. Maybe you have the basics and technical skills, but it's feeling way too dry and robotic. Let's work on reframing and bringing you out of your head and back into your body with rope. Maybe you've been practicing for years.There's always something to learn from your peers and ways you haven't thought of connecting before, or at least there's space to work on it. This is a practice, after all.

It's time for the bi-annual Dual Demons 3 minute soapbox single column tie moment. Come to this class, and you’ll understand why we choose to teach non-collapsible ties on purpose and use them almost exclusively in our own tying.

In this beginner-friendly class on non-collapsible single and double column ties, you will start to learn the technical aspect of these ties. We teach, with lots of break out time, how to securely and aesthetically tie ropes around various body parts on yourself (or your partner) with guidance and attention to safety. With hands-on instruction and a supportive learning environment, you will leave feeling empowered and equipped to explore the captivating world of rope bondage.

Rope is an inherently dangerous activity and comes with a lot of risk that many newer folks are not aware of. Nerves are a key factor to consider, and in this class, we will go over some of the major nerves to be aware of and how injuries might show up. Safety is of paramount importance in any rope or kink practice, and we take this responsibility seriously. Informed consent is a core tenant to developing your own risk profile, and this class will give you a base to start better understanding and communicating your own risk profile.

The second half of class will focus on the features of rope. We will explore different types of rope and their uses, some ways you can care and store rope, and other techincal aspects.These elements will build into rope handling and some intention when working with rope, which will be hands on and exploratory.
