Common Q&A

1. Do I need to bring my own rope?

Yes. If you don't have your own set of rope yet, this class is probably not for you.

2. Do I need a rope bottom?

Yes. You will need a rope bottom to practice with. If you are a switch, pair up with your switch-y friends! You learn the most if you could experience both sides!

3. What should I wear?

For Riggers: Anything you feel the most comfortable in. You will feel
warmer than your bottom, so don't put too many layers on!

For bottoms: Tighter clothes are the best. For example: tank tops and yoga pants. If you wear bras, please remember to take them off or wear wireless bras for upper body ties.

4. Will I be able to learn to suspend someone?

Yes. This is a class for suspension sequence.
