Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I don’t have a model (bunny). Can I still come?
A: Absolutely! In this intro class, participants rotate roles between Rigger and Bunny to experience both sides. If you come as a couple and prefer not to rotate with others, you are welcome to work exclusively with your partner.
Q: I’m a total beginner and don’t know anyone. Is that okay?
A: Of course! This class is specifically designed for beginners. It’s a great place to meet like-minded people. The class will proceed as long as there are at least two participants.
Q: Can I ask about advanced ties I saw on YouTube?
A: We love curiosity! We can discuss anything related to introductory levels. However, for high-difficulty techniques (like suspensions), please book a Private Class or DM us for a consultation.
