[Cancelled] Self-Suspension 101 and Rope Jam featuring Alicia T-Corn

Join @AliciaT-Corn for a self-tying & suspension 101 class followed by an open rope jam! In this class we will cover basic rope self-suspension techniques including safety, equipment, basic chest and hip harness, and upline management. This class is taught with the assumption that attendees have a working knowledge of harness tying and basic bondage safety. After some discussion Alicia will walk the class through harness tying and a beginner friendly face up self-suspension and inversion. You will have the chance to tie along and practice the self-suspension sequence demonstrated with guidance and assistance.

Participants are not required to tie or self-suspend during the class. HD has 4 hard points inside the dungeon and 1 outside near the pool area.

Following the class section, the hard points and dungeon will be open for a rope jam and play time. Alicia T-Corn will be available to assist and spot those who want to continue what they learned in class as well as answer any other self-tying and suspension questions you may have.

Equipment required to suspend during the class:

● Safety cutting tool (safety shears)

● Climbing-rated, locking carabiners (at least 4)

● Rope! You will need rope for harnesses and for uplines (Posh Spun Polyester preferred or 8mm Hemp rope)

● A ring, climbing plate, etc. (optional)

About the Instructor:

Alicia T-Corn is from the North Bay and has been in the Bay Area rope scene since 2015. She identifies as a queer, leather, polyamorous, rope enthusiast. Alicia started self-suspending as a way to build confidence in her rope suspension bottoming skills and to challenge herself physically. Alicia’s rope leather family’s name, T-Corns, is the combination of a T-Rex and a unicorn. The name was given to them by their community due to their weird and fun-loving collection of personalities. You can find Alicia assisting, hosting, and performing at many of the events in our North Bay Area. Her biggest goal is to share her outlook and style of rope. Alicia fully believes that this lifestyle should be fun, creative, and provide a constant opportunity for growth. She is always expanding her knowledge, passing that knowledge onto others, and making sure everyone has a great time along the way! Alicia shares a lot of love and passion for her community and spreading education that rope bondage is for everyone!
