Drills for Rope Skills for Blue

If you've been in our Core Curriculum classes, you have surely heard us saying (over and over and over again): "Drill your ties!"

And we meant it too! So much so that we offer this event dedicated solely to the practice of drilling your rope bondage techniques.

Do you find yourself struggling to maintain tension, or apply the appropriate amount when tying? Do you find your column ties end up uneven? Do you feel like you have a tangled, uncontrollable length of rope in your hands?! Let's work on that intentionally / in-tensionally.

Drilling exercises can help to improve your rope technique and management and your ability to move efficiently & smoothly with your rope, even when the moment might become hectic. It can also serve to build your confidence and connection with rope as your medium. Think of a dancer warming up, or a musician practicing their scales. We believe drilling can benefit those new to rope and those who have been tying for a while.

Join us for any or all dates on third Tuesdays in April, May and June!

** Each session is stand alone; you need not attend all three, these sessions are not progressive. Exercises will be different for each session. Tickets are per person and per session. **

About this event:

• Blue will introduce several drilling exercises in each event. Exercises will vary month to month and focus on general themes of: column ties, frictions and drilling for tension and rope management. There is usually some time for open practice as well.
• Attendees will be set up to tie as self-ties or using furniture/props. You do not need to come with a tying partner (but if you do, please purchase two tickets). The intention in this is to encourage those that tie to find ways to practice their rope skills on their own. These sessions may feel a bit repetitive for the person being tied.
• These classes are best suited for folks with SOME foundational rope experience that are seeking more ways to practice and refine their ties. Attendees should already be comfortable tying column ties.
• These classes are also great for those who have experience with suspension and want to refine/improve their rope flow and management or drill/practice their uplines.
• Come ready to geek out on detail and repetition!!
• Loaner rope is available for attendees, or bring your personal kit. 2 lengths of rope is all you need. If you are intending to also practice your uplines, bring your suspension gear.
• If finances are a barrier for you to attend this event, please email us at voxbody@gmail.com! We hold scholarship spots for most all of our events.
