Shibari in Denmark
The earliest dated rope group found for Denmark grew out of its organized SM community. In 2010 Peer Rope Copenhagen was founded as an open interest group of SMil København, the Copenhagen branch of the Danish association for sadomasochists. It still meets on the first Sunday and third Monday of the month, each time around a chosen theme or technique followed by free practice, with a social Rope Café and a beginners’ introduction on Sundays. Japanese teachers also came: in 2012 Yukimura Haruki gave his first workshop outside Japan at the Copenhagen Shibari Dojo, according to a biography published by Shibari Dojo, an episode set in context in Kinbaku goes global.
Non-profit venues on Zealand
Courses are also held outside the city. Rope Space, a non-profit association devoted to shibari, kinbaku and Japanese rope bondage, runs two venues on Zealand, in Greve and in Mørkøv. It offers weekly classes in small groups for all levels, from first-timers to experienced riggers, along with private lessons, workshops and open practice evenings. Its site is in Danish, with some event listings in English.
Jutland and a national festival
On the Jutland peninsula, newer venues have opened in the 2020s. MyShibari, a privately owned venue in Central Jutland that has operated since January 2023, offers classes, rope jams and pop-up events, and once a year, in May or June, a workshop with international teachers. In August it hosts the Danish Shibari Festival. Its page for the fourth edition, set for 13 to 16 August 2026 in Sønder Felding and marked sold out, announced 18 workshops taught in English by presenters from the United States, the Czech Republic, Germany, England and Denmark, among them HenRigger from Denmark. Near Aarhus, Kinbaku Nexus opened in Sabro in January 2025 with courses at several levels, a weekly open practice and special events; its site is in Danish.
How it fits together
The Copenhagen guide covers the formats in and around the capital, from the SM-association group to the city’s other studios and jams. Zealand’s non-profit venues and the Jutland studios and festival add courses and a national meeting point outside the capital. For more on jams and similar formats, see Rope jams, munches and salons.
