September Rope in Seattle

All the rope that's fit to print

Meerkat Agenda LLC

Aug 29, 2024

Welcome to the September edition of Rope in Seattle!

This month we want to highlight two technical rope classes, both of which are being taught for the first time:

On Saturday 9/7, Mastering Uplines by Full Circle Kink is a deep dive into uplines for suspension.
On Saturday 9/14, Kinematics and Biomechanics of TKs by Dan and Esjay is a deep dive into how shoulders behave in TKs.

If you’re looking for something less technical, we’re looking forward to:

The new monthly ECTA Shibari Jam starting on Saturday 9/7.
Shibari Nightfall is one of our favorite events and the Friday 10/11 Halloween event looks to be particularly good.

Rope in Seattle is updated weekly and is available via the free web, email, RSS, and Google Calendar.
