Dan

Dan (he/him) is a queer, top-leaning rope switch based in Seattle. He has been active in the rope scene since 2017. His style of rope is best characterized as sensual, functional, and connective. He takes an analytical approach to rope, with an emphasis on nerve and body safety. Performing as a duo with Esjay the Dreamer, their joint mission is to promote shibari as a movement and performing art, and to welcome curious folks into the rope community. He is one of the moderators of Rope In Seattle.
