SF: Leading and Following: Non-verbal Communication for D/s

In this interactive class we borrow leading and following techniques from partnered dance and apply it to D/s. No dance understanding is required. No partner is required. Using simple concentration and dance techniques, we explore the internal mind/body connection for Dominants and submissives, non-verbal communication between the leader and follower, and how this works in 24/7, scenes, and more.

Comfortable shoes are recommended - we will stand and walk for much of class. (People with mobility issues are easily accommodated.)

**TICKETING:**

We offer a sliding scale, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance.

The regular ticket is $30. This is what most people should pay.

If that would be a barrier to attendance, you may use the $20 option. If you're able to be generous, paying at the $40 option allows us to make tickets accessible to those who need the discount.

So - that's it! Choose the level you can comfortably afford.

If cost is a barrier at any point on the sliding scale, please use the Volunteer List at the bottom of the listing to request a scholarship seat. Scholarships will be provided on a funds-available basis.
