In rope classes body manipulation is often taught to make things easier…smoother…for more cooperative and fluid transitions.

We will play with using our whole bodies in combination with rope to find simple ways to use pressure, imbalance, and awkward or forced positioning to amplify power dynamics, physical intensity, and emotional charge.
