Tell me more: Do you want to take your basic rope skills a little further? Are you keen to start combining patterns and concepts to reach new heights? Join us as we equip you with the theoretical and practical knowledge to move from basic ties all the way to partial suspensions – fun, informative and incredibly engaging rope is just a few knots away!
Description: This course will build on the basic knowledge acquired, enabling students to develop their tying skills and repertoire. The ties will incorporate more intricate patterns, and more parts of the body. During the course, participants will start to explore uplines, eventually building to partial suspensions.
Prerequisites: Beginners’ course or equivalent, including ability to tie a safe and stable single and double column tie. Knowledge of own and partners’ boundaries and limitations. Body awareness, ability to communicate effectively with partner.
Safety, curiosity, consent and respect are expected throughout.
