202 was a great experience! We reviewed some earlier ties, added new ones, and went much deeper into scene creation. All in all, it felt like I really started to understand how to put things together conceptually and it helped my partner and I get more creative. I was worried that we might be taking too much on right after 201, but the pacing was perfect and it was really a lot of fun. Strongly recommend!

Amazing knowledge for every day life. I’m thrilled to have received so much well thought out information. I learned so much, and in such a fun setting. She made me excited to learn more.

Renee delivered helpful, ethical and reasonable solutions to real situations. Gave concrete examples and was a delight to listen to. Awesome people!!

I definitely want to do the in person class now but the online course has been great!

Thank you Dan and Renee for such an excellent class. I got a lot of useful information to help me get started. Also glad I stayed for the lab and had my first hands on experience with rope. I will be on the lookout for the future class.

We did a two-couple private and it was fantastic from start to finish. Dan and Renee are professional (and FUN!) as they use their extensive knowledge to ensure we were ready to tie safely. Definitely recommend Dan, Renee, and ATUSD!

Exceeds expectations, expertise abounds, and emotional intelligence is shared. This class is phenomenal. And it’s not just for people interested in rope play or bdsm. Aside from internalizing safety, health, and legal pitfalls, with real-life examples, students learn in depth what consent looks and feels like, and why it is so important for having freeing, positive, and frankly sexier experiences. This should be a required course for school sex education. Safety is sexy, and bdsm is sacred at All Tied Up.

Once it was over, I couldn’t even begin to articulate to the instructors how incredible the 2-hour Getting Started class was for me. I do not exaggerate it, this course left me at a loss for words. Best with a partner, but VERY solo friendly, the starting course is an amazing first introduction and/or refresher to bondage and even kinkdom at large. I wish I had taken this class ages ago — I wish this was my first introduction into the community. The safety-first wisdom shared by the instructors is both vital and life-changing, and it’s coming from real people who make it their priority to ‘get real’ with you!! Seriously, sign up. You’ll be a better for it.

This was my third in-person class with Dan and Renee. I’m more impressed with each class by their attention to detail, methodical approach, and level of skill. They managed to deliver relatively complex potentially challenging content in a way that is effective and entertaining. Our competence has soared and no question we’re taking the next level class. Only advice…be in the door and setting up 10 min before class start time.

Dan and Renee are a great team. A balance of enthusiasm and experience. Dan reflects the excitement of all of us who are jumping into something new and exciting. Renee is a cautious voice telling us to be aware and be educated. The class ramps up exponentially each session and by the end of week 6 my knowledge had expanded greatly.

What a pleasure it was to attend Dan and Renee’s Getting Started course & lab with ATUSD. Despite a lengthy tenure in the “kinkdom” I appreciated the specifics shared during this class, particularly aspects surrounding communication and safety. I left feeling more secure in my exploration with rope, using it as a conduit to deepen intimacy, communication and trust. Thank you!
