Great class. Awesome hospitality. Very informative, definitely learned a lot in a short amount of time. We will be attending this class soon. I suggest anyone who is interested in bondage and doesn’t know where to start, take the time to come to the 101 class. Thank you.

So far, I’ve gone to the munch, the safety and intro class, the 101 class, and the 201+ class.

These folks are great! As a shy newbie, I immediately felt welcomed and at home. They really know their stuff, and you can tell they love to teach.

I attended two workshops at All Tied Up- the Safety course and a 201 course. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at how nice everyone was and how safe I felt. The energy was good and everyone seemed excited to be there. Dan and Renee were great teachers- informative and fun- and the dynamic between them was cute to watch! Rob also did a great job with his part of the 201 class- it was very intense. I am grateful to all the instructors who showed great strength and vulnerability through their teachings. Dan also facilitated an introduction to a top for me so I could attend the 201 class and I was very happy with the connection he made. All in all, a very safe and fun way to explore your kink and learn more about yourself by doing so! I’ll be back!

I have some expierience with rope, and still found the 101 time well spent. I learned some new things and can’t wait to try them during play. Thanks!

The title of my review does not nearly sum up how I feel about this group. Ever since my partner and I joined it has been almost…dare I say it…addicting! We have successfully gone to 3 events in the last 10 days (just how they lined up) and planning on going to more. We are focused on rope tying right now…still open to exploring other kinks and fetishes. If you are looking for a safe, comfortable, and open space to let your inner kinkster out or even just want to explore this community and the practices, this is a great spot for all of that. I highly recommend this group.

Very informative. Was helpful that everyone smiles and is approachable.

All Tied Up is made up of an amazing group of people. Dan, Renee, Rob, and Fairy all make it a great place to come and work on rope and just share in the fun that is an ATU Event. The 201 classes are an excellent source of knowledge and info, and they are a highlight of my monthly event schedule.

Great experience! If you want to know more about ropes , protocols,safety, tying and having a safe environment to learn, this is it. Can’t speak about future events but seems it can only get better. Informative, friendly, welcoming, engaging…and all that for a first impression.

I recently attended the ATU 101 Class and ended up learning a lot more than I expected. Dan and Renee both offer a relaxed and educational environment where any and all questions are acceptable and clear answers are given. Even the handouts had a ton of useful information crammed in it that I was able to read and re-read later on if there was anything I forgot. During the practice tie portion Dan himself did a great job offering tips wherever needed and made sure everyone was comfortable. Also, shout out to Nick along with Teal who helped demonstrate the harness tie. He also made sure to help me as I tried to figure it all out 😀

All tied up provides excellent rope instruction at very reasonable prices. Dan and Rob’s passion for rope and sharing their skills is obvious in every class they teach. The progression of skills presented is well thought out and presented at a challenging but achievable pace. Classes provide a strong emphasis on safety and consent – something that every aspiring rigger should be keenly interested in.

In addition to teaching the skills of rope bondage, All Tied Up has managed to build up a really nice community of rope kinksters. All tied up hosts munches to encourage social interaction between attendees. I have always felt welcomed and respected by everyone associated with this organization.

Some persnickety suggestions to improve the classes:

The layout of the space that All Tied Up primarily uses functions well as a dungeon (its primary purpose) but poses challenges as a classroom. I suggest that the space that is currently designated “the stage” is not ideally suited to allow the best viewing angle to the greatest number of people. I often find myself watching the side of a tie being performed and it is difficult to understand what is being done. As most tops need to relocate themselves closer to the stage to see the tie being performed anyways, I propose moving the area where tying is demonstrated to in between floor locations 15 and 18, or in between floor locations 1 and 3.

Paper handouts are distributed at the beginning of each class. I generally find these useful both during the class and as a reference after. I think these handouts would be even more powerful pedagogical tools if they were emailed out a couple days before: this would allow more novice riggers (like me) to develop some familiarity with the topics that are to be covered and ensure they are preserved for posterity for people who are good at keeping track of electronic files but not paper (also like me).

Overall, I greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn from Dan and Rob and would recommend this organization to anyone interested in rope bondage. Coming to All Tied Up events is one of the highlights of my month.
