All Levels Rope – Weekly on Tuesday

When:

Apr 29th, 2025 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM

Facilitators:

The Tuesday All Level runs on an 8-week rotation. At the start of each rotation we introduce a new harness structure. Over the subsequent 7 weeks we then approach that structure from multiple different directions and purposes, both technical and interpersonal. How can we break down and alter the harness to make it work in certain ways? Can we tie it while moving/dancing/sitting/playfighting? How does it behave in suspension? How can we make it ornate, or comfortable, or robust? We also build skills and habits to keep the focus on the interaction between humans rather than the pattern. People approach rope from a myriad different directions, motivations, and interests, so our classes should reflect that diversity of approach. 

The order of classes may change depending on the pace and needs of participants. See the curriculum of our rope track

  • Harness Intro
  • Deeper Dive/Different Versions/Magic Tips and Tricks
  • Tying with Movement/Ranboo
  • Partial/Static Suspension (Upline Review)**
  • Interview Metaphor
  • Suspension with Transition Options (Upline Special Considerations)**
  • Floorwork
  • Challenges! 

All Level classes are designed for partner work, though you are welcome to attend solo and absorb information. 

A brief note on suspension:

You don’t have to suspend in these classes! It’s pretty common that newer people choose not to suspend on their first ‘rotation’ through the All Levels class. Work at the pace that suits you, make sure you feel comfortable with what you are doing, and we will support you.Please note: Anyone who plans to suspend should attend the appropriate Uplines Friday class. We will briefly review uplines and/or cover special considerations for uplines for a particular tie, but we will not teach uplines directly. 

Loaner ropes are available. NO SUSPENSION with loaner ropes.
