Becoming a Paid Rope Model at AthenShibari

At AthenShibari, we believe that rope modeling is a skill.

A great rope model doesn’t simply receive rope— they actively contribute to the safety, quality, and educational value of every class.

Being a paid model means becoming part of the teaching team. You help create a better learning experience for students while ensuring that both you and the rigger can work safely and confidently.

To qualify as a paid rope model, you should have:
  • Completed the Introduction to Rope Modeling class.

  • Completed the Rope Risks & Safety class.

  • At least one year of regular class experience.

  • Completed at least two Advanced classes in private sessions with one of the rope teachers.

  • A good understanding of your own body and how it responds in rope.

  • Strong communication skills, including the confidence to speak up when something doesn’t feel right.

  • The ability to guide, support, and communicate with the teacher or spotter whenever needed.

A rope model is not a passive participant.
Your knowledge, awareness, and experience are just as valuable as technical rope skills. Investing in your education doesn’t just make you a better model—it makes every class safer, more enjoyable,
and more rewarding for everyone involved.
