My primary partner and I did the intro class and our first lab today and it was EXCELLENT! The intro class honestly should be mandatory for any kink practice, really, and Dan and Renee supply anecdotes to make all the lessons come to life and stick in your head. Got all my grey bits just vibrating with color! And the learning lab was super welcoming and fun, plenty of teachers to ensure we all got it right, everyone with lovely supportive energy. I had a great time and felt extremely safe, highly recommend.

From the great basic kink fundamentals to terrific care while teaching ties and skills, ATU gave me all my money’s worth and more!

Renee, Dan and all their crew are extremely attentive and won’t let you go home without answering your questions.

Looking forward to the 101!

See the title.

Utmost attention was paid to participants’ physical and emotional safety.

I attended the in person Getting Started class last night and it was great! The information was so useful and really gave me a good knowledge base of the things that need to be negotiated and the level of communication required for both the top and the bottom to have a positive experience. Thanks Renee and Dan!

The intro class was excellent; so much of it was info that’s transferable to lots of other areas of life as well. I felt my perspective expanding and I love when that happens! The instructors were knowledgeable and entertaining.

Awesome presentation! Made the experience comfortable and safe, ready to begin trying new things.

Dan and Renee are both so helpful and supportive for beginners. The emphasis on safety in the course means I feel much more prepared as a bottom to start venturing into the world of rope bondage having learned about things like negotiation, subspace and consent.

This course covers the most fundamental and essential components of rope – everything from safety to communication to technique – in a concise and well-structured format. Far superior to the “old-fashioned” way of bumbling through whatever hodge-podge of YouTube tutorials floating out there.

While this series is incredible for both partnered and single persons, some of the content is geared toward partners. If you’re coming into this alone (like I did!), do not fret! There is plenty of opportunity to find someone to practice with though events, community Slack, etc.

Dan found a way to make hybrid rope classes fun and educational! I really enjoyed these classes.
