Class Descriptions

Introduction to the Spanking Scene with Miss Chris

Welcome to the incredible world of spanking, domestic discipline and corporal punishment! This isn’t just an activity for us, the spanking scene is a community all onto its own. We’ll talk about the activities that comprise spanking play, of course, but we will also talk about our culture, our history, some issues facing the community and where things might be headed next. Basic spanking event/party etiquette will be touched on so you know that spanking parties are a different breed of BDSM event, with considerations of our own. All are welcome to join in the spanko fun!

Presenter Bio: Founder of Spank University and Creator of the Spanko Intensive at APEX, Miss Chris’ mission is to bring education to the spanking community. It’s been her dream to host the largest educational event for spankos by spankos for years, and it’s finally coming to fruition.

Roleplay with Dr. Spankologist

In this class, we’ll break down how to build and play out a BDSM roleplay scene. What works, what flops, and how to keep it engaging. We’ll wrap up with questions, so bring your curiosity and your imagination.

Presenter Bio: Hi, I’m Dr. Spankologist. I’ve been active in the lifestyle for more than 15 years. I have a love for impact play and just about everything BDSM. I enjoy both sensual and painful impact, and live the lifestyle as fully as I can.

Belts & Straps with Uncle Eric

Belts and straps are ubiquitous in the spanking community but they can be devilish to wield. Come out for Uncle Eric’s discussion and demo of some basic to advanced belt and strap techniques, followed by an interactive hands on portion to work on your skills. Bring your belts or more difficult straps and get some pointers by the Belter, himself.

Presenter Bio: A career student of the Disciplinary arts, moonlighting kink choreographer, and impact aficionado, Uncle Eric might be found at any number of events on the East coast these days. Outing himself on a regular basis long before he was legal, he later popped up in the public scene in 1982. UE could often be found over the last few decades, at dungeons, BDSM and Fetish events around the country, appearing professionally on spanking sites, or popping up on local or Playboy TV on occasion.

An Introduction to Implement Care with Pet Emily

Do you have a favorite implement? A paddle that’s lit more backsides on fire than you can count, perhaps, or a strap you spent years admiring before finally making it your own? As spankos, we often love (or love to hate) our implements – but we don’t always know how best to care for them. Luckily, there’s a class for that! Join Pet Emily to learn the top techniques for cleaning, sanitizing, and maintaining your fine whackables. Whatever the tool, whatever the material, come and discover how to keep every tool in your arse-nal in spanking good condition for years to come.

Presenter Bio: Pet Emily (she/her) is an irrepressibly enthusiastic trans/NB girl-pet-spanko-kinkster-thingy, and the collared s-type of her beloved Mistress Chaotic Kat. She has a special passion for leather care and bootblacking, since they perfectly combine her love of all things detail-oriented with her service-driven heart. Emily has worked stands at The Crucible and the District Eagle in D.C., and at events including MsC, Camp Crucible, IMsLBB, and Fornucopia. She’s also run multiple workshops on the topic, and is always delighted to share her knowledge and passion.

The Art of Bratting with Miss Chris

Whether you love Brats or not, they are certainly here to stay! Come visit with Bratty Top Miss Chris as she discusses the Bratterverse, what constitutes consent in it, bratty communication techniques, who Brat Tamers are and what’s the difference between a Brat and a SAM. Brat culture, rewards and punishments, along with the somewhat radical notion that Bratting might just be a mild form of Consensual Non Consent will all be addressed. Brats, Tamers and the Bratcurious are all welcome!

Presenter Bio: Founder of Spank University and Creator of the Spanko Intensive at APEX, Miss Chris’ mission is to bring education to the spanking community. It’s been her dream to host the largest educational event for spankos by spankos for years, and it’s finally coming to fruition.

Caning with Gloryus

Gloryus will present how music can play a part in setting the scene and the versatility of canes in rhythmic scenes. Using music to set the mood and your favorite cane to carry it. There will be basic cane knowledge shared at the beginning with an emphasis on safety, providing some talking points, and topics to help you approach canes yourself. A demonstration of combined techniques on a willing bottom will round up the presentation. A chance to practice what you learned during the interactive session following.

Presenter Bio: Gloryus is an avid cane enthusiast and co-owner of Calamity Canes. She has years of experience using, making, and experimenting with rattan. She has presented at APEX, Desert Dominion, EVEE, WAK and private venues. Sharing forward her personal connection to canes through music continues to feed her.
