DVNC: Knotty Affair

Get ready for an evening of rope, rhythm, and slow-building tension as DVNC: Knotty Affair returns to The Shop. After two successful first editions, this signature rope night is back with even more artistry, guidance, and connection.

Rope Bites instructors transform the lounge into a living gallery of rope work, with scenes unfolding throughout the space so you can watch, learn, ask questions, or step in when it feels right.
