In this beginner to intermediate level class we’ll learn how to attach bamboo to different parts of the body as a building block to explore predicaments, create fun shapes, and add another element to your scenes; with bamboo tying it all together. We’ll take a couple of simple ties and teach you how to combine them together with the knowledge you already have to create fun and fresh ways to explore with your partner. We’ll show you how to challenge your partner on the floor and in partials, create aesthetic poses and shapes, and how to evoke different feelings like vulnerability, exposure, pain, and strength with bamboo as the base.

• At least six hanks of rope (7 or 8m)
• Cutting tool
• Comfort items
• Hardware for single point suspension if participating in the partials

About the Instructors:

Sal (He/Him)

Sal joined the rope community in Denver in April 2023 as a rope top, diving deep into online self learning and local classes. Captivated by the intricate and difficult nature of the art, he finds excitement in playing with and capturing the resilience and strength of his partners. His bread and butter is dynamic suspensions, combining sadism, sensuality, and playfulness to create a unique chaotic style. He loves the connection created by challenging his partners and turning a simple pile of rope into a hot scene.

Rope_amine (She/They)

Feral (aka rope_amine) s a sadomasochistic switch. They were a casual rope bottom and kinkster for years before deciding to take her ties into her own hands in 2023. They completed the Studio Friction curriculum in early 2024 and have been focused on rigging since then.

She is inspired by rope as a means of self-expression, physical embodiment, mental transcendence, and interpersonal connection. They particularly enjoy combining rope with her love of the outdoors, embracing chaos rope, as well as flying and rigging dynamic suspensions. Her favorite ties blend playful spontaneity with intentionally curated mental and physical challenges.
