This class is meant as a primer for the suspension 101 class. We will teach how to tie our version of a hug harness and add in a hip loader for better vertical support and possible future transitions. This is NOT a class or how to suspend, bottoming, rope safety, nerves / circulation, communication or negotiation. Those are VERY important topics and should be learned before attempting to suspend or loading any harness.

​

If time permits, we will show the bottom part of a Y hanger and drills for tying off the top part of your upline.

Class Etiquette

- Many etiquette items are covered in the Code of Conduct  (we worked really hard on it, so give it a read)

- The class is a casual event, so please wear what you feel comfortable in. For models tight fitting clothes or just not much clothing is the easiest to tie in. For riggers, make sure your clothing does not restrict your mobility in any way.  

- We suggest you to be barefoot or wear shoes on the dance floor to prevent slipping (not just socks). 

​

Tickets

- You much purchase your ticket in advance     

- NEVER let money be the reason you don’t come. We are still working out how we want to do a scholarship ticket program, but if you have a deep commitment to learn and share rope but not the financial means to attend this class, please email us so we can see how we can help.
