Rough Crowd Academy and Rough Crowd are educational workshops pertaining to consensual practices within BDSM. If you are not comfortable with sexual and alternative activities engaged between consenting adults, that’s OK but you should probably just close this window now.

Rough Crowd Academy is a weekend intensive program taught by world-renowned rough body play instructor Roughinamorato. It may be arranged as either a single full weekend, or individual full-day classes, depending on the city.

Rough Crowd Academy is designed to cover a wide range of BDSM body-based impact play, and anyone from beginners to advanced and experienced players will find something of benefit. Like Rough Crowd, the Academy is designed around a workshop environment: skills and techniques are taught and demonstrated, followed by class participation and practice time, and review. This pattern is repeated throughout the weekend moving from basics to more complex skills, each built on things already covered in the class.

Those new to rough body play will find solid fundamentals to build a strong foundation for future learning and play. Experienced players will find new techniques, fresh perspectives on what’s possible, and opportunities through one-on-one coaching in class to pick up improvements and refinement on form, application of force, and style development.

Regardless of experience level – novice to old hands (see what we did there?) – the goal at Rough Crowd is always that you’ll leave us better at this than you were when you arrived.
