CLASS DESCRIPTION
Making up your own ties and positions is fun, but can be challenging. In this hands-on class, for all skill levels, you will learn how to tie without predefined patterns; you will also be provided with tips and tricks for how to make improvisational rope easier.
This class is catered towards partnered tying, but can easily be adapted for self-tiers. You do not need a partner to register – feel free to sign up if you are interested in finding another solo tier in the class to partner with.
