SOLD OUT
This event is by invitation only.
Tasteofdinner and Sarah Calanthe are excited to announce the very first edition of Knot Here Rope Jam at an amazing venue! To celebrate the start of this new monthly event, we are planning an entire afternoon + evening of rope fun and socialising.
When: Saturday the 10th of February, from 14:00 to 22:00
Doors will be open for entry from 14:00 to 15:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00. You are able to leave at any time, but entry outside of these times is not possible. If you know in advance that you will not be able to arrive during these times, please send us a message on FetLife or Instagram.
Location: Amsterdam (5 minute walk from Weesp train station, exact address of the location provided after purchasing a ticket)
Our gorgeous rope space is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. It has a big open space with 12 suspension points (bamboos), and plenty of space for floorwork. Blankets, cushions and yoga mats are available to use. There is a separate social area and a changing room on the top floor, and a toilet on each floor. Unfortunately, there is no elevator and access to the space is only via stairs.
Tickets: €20 per person
Ticket link is provided in DMs to those who have received an invitation & expressed interest. If circumstances make the event unaffordable to you, please send us a message on FetLife or Instagram., and we will do our best to find a solution together.
We are also working on a Pay it Forward system, whereby people with more financial freedom can help support other members of the community. How does it work? When purchasing your ticket, you can choose to add a 10€ complement, which goes directly towards a 50% discount to make things more affordable and inclusive for others that couldn't afford it at this time.
Food & drinks
We will be providing free tea, coffee, lemonade, and some nibbles. You have the option to purchase a meal (vegetable curry & a hearty salad) for an additional €10 if you’d like to eat dinner at the venue. There is a limited number of meals available and they can be purchased until the 5th of February, so we know how much to provide. The meal is vegan and gluten free. Unfortunately we are unable to cater to other dietary needs & preferences. The meal will be served at 18:00 in the social room. Of course, you are also welcome to bring your own food (keeping in mind that there is no fridge or microwave available for use) or take a break to grab a bite nearby (we will share a list of nearby stores & restaurants with attendees). If you leave the venue to get food, you will be able to return between 18:00 to 19:00, after which the doors will be closed again.
Rules
Be excellent to each other.
Please leave your shoes, ego, and quarrels at the door.
Topless is allowed for all genders. Bottom underwear stays on.
Please put everything (mats, blankets, pillows, etc.) back where you found them & tidy up after yourself.
Be mindful of the neighbours. Please keep your noise levels down outside the venue and make sure to close the entrance door behind you when you come inside.
Safety is important to us. Please tie within your skill level and keep your own and your partner's safety in mind. If you need help, please ask for it. If you have any concerns about safety, please do not hesitate to talk to the organisers or the people around you.
Using the suspension points is only allowed after receiving permission from tasteofdinner or Sarah Calanthe. Please check with us at the beginning of the jam if you would like to use a point. We might ask you some questions about your experience and will provide you with a bracelet to show you are allowed to use the suspension points. Bracelets must be returned to us at the end of the jam.
If you are trying out things you aren’t fully familiar or confident with yet, you can always ask someone to spot you.
Drinks in closed bottles are allowed in the main room. Food is only allowed in the social room upstairs.
Please lower your voice in the main room and be mindful of those around you. The social room upstairs is a great place to have a chat with your friends, right next to people who are in the middle of a scene not so much.
No alcohol & drug consumption inside the venue. If you appear clearly inebriated, we may refuse access or ask you to leave.
Taking pictures is allowed, but make sure that you only capture consenting individuals. Be aware of potential people in the background - not everyone is comfortable with having a camera pointed in their direction.
Why invite only?
We have decided to make this event invite-only on purpose. Our goal is not to sell as many tickets as possible, but rather to create a welcoming space for our community to get together & share their passion. If you have received an invitation and would like to bring a rope partner who hasn’t been invited yet, please send us a message on FetLife or Instagram and we'll see what we can do, since we want for the community to grow organically.
