This is the perfect class to bring a top or bottom from competent beginner to confident rope enthusiast. The time spent learning the rope, myself and my partner were priceless and essential to firm foundation in my journey. Thank you. 10/10 would recommend

The 201 course was so enriching. I am a switch who took the class as a top and there was so much good information for both roles! Dan and Renee are able to teach this class in a way that shows their passion and thoughtfulness. From the curriculum to the way the feedback was delivered in a way that made you better and built you up, you can tell this course was created with a love for community and Shibari.

Definitely was an experience that allowed advancement in making Rope more than just Rope. Showing connection and how those can really expand your journey. How to be purposeful.

I have been wanting to get more involved in the BDSM community for a while and I tried going to events provided by other groups before, but either the events availabe we’re not for me (introvert) or they didn’t feel as welcoming once I was actually there and tried to connect with people.

With All Tied Up I felt truly welcomed. I mean, I specifically remember going to my first practice event not having a clue what was going on and Dan filling me in and making sure I made the most out of my time. On my second event, Romp, many welcomed me. Dan made sure that us new folks watching the scenes understood the usual flow of the event and answered every question we had. And, best of all, I never felt any creepy vibes at all there (sorry, but, it has been a thing at other events outside of All Tied Up that I have been).

Everyone I’ve connected with so far has been very helpful, nice, respectful, considerate and kind. People truly put in the effort and have fun while still being human. And I love that, even though a big focus is rope, there is plenty of space in some of the events to explore other kinks as well.

I didn’t think I would want to go to a sex party anytime soon, but I felt so safe and held with All Tied Up that I ended up going on my first one a month after getting involved with All Tied Up (and just went to my second one yesterday 😁). Both were great experiences and, again, consistent effort from everyone to make the environment a safe place for everyone to enjoy themselves and explore. This really has helped me feel more comfortable with myself and my rope, kink, and sexual exploration — helping build my confidence and knowledge through courses and experience.

I’m very thankful to have found All Tied Up —for the space they provide for us to learn and explore, and for the amazing connections. I absolutely recommend!

If you’re anything like me, when you’re nervous about trying something new, you research. For ages. And ages. Only then do you take the plunge, buy a ticket, borrow a friend’s rope, and show up to your first ever informative Shibari class.

With absolutely zero assumption that anything I had researched on my own was correct (much of it was not, sadly), I walked into this class not knowing what to expect. What I was met with was an open, communicative, encouraging community of people all there to learn and engage in their own Shibari journeys.

Dan and Renee are leaders in the SD rope community for a reason, friends! They are knowledgeable, experienced, passionate teachers and, what’s more, they are kind enough to share their knowledge with curious newcomers and their peers in the ropes community alike. There is no gate keeping. No feeling of belittlement because you don’t know what you don’t know and have questions about everything under the sun. They are patient and willing to discuss relevant topics and it comes through in every aspect of their Getting Started class.

From the lecture/discussion mostly lead by Renee to the LAB where Dan taught some fundamental ties right away, they kept things informative, safe, and genuine. I look forward to many more opportunities to gather and learn from them and others in the All Tied Up community.

I learned so much in just a few hours! Dan and Renee were amazing, and made me and my wife feel extremely comfortable. Looking forward to more events with them!

My spouse and I just had our first foray into rope play together and kink in general at the getting started class. The step by step instruction was very thorough and the lab hands on. A very cool experience and introduction into rope

The introduction class was a great mix of foundational terms, rules for engagement within the community, and fun!

Dan and Rene were both clear, respectful, and kind.

Open tying time, aka “lab”, was a great opportunity to learn, watch, and dive in.

Thank you.

Biggest takeaway is that for this and future events, safety is a top priority. They were also funny!

This was my first time taking a roping class. I appreciate the safe space to learn about roping and the emphasis on conversations about consent and negotiation. I have a clearer understanding of expectations going into a roping dynamic and feel more prepared in discussing my expectations.
