Midori, of bondage and sex-education fame, will be coming to Dallas in the middle of June to present 4 classes. They will be done on Saturday/Sunday.
Where and exactly what the classes are will be revealed soon... gotta get all the paperwork done first.
So if you ever wanted to get your bondage book or perhaps a body part autographed, be sure to keep an eye on this thread! I'll post the other details after they've been formally announced.

Oh wow!!!
I wonder what type of classes she'll be teaching? I've seen where she has presented topics that aren't strictly related to shibari.
If I remember right, some topics for women, only.

[Predicament Bondage]
Here's a class for fun-loving, wicked tops and for bottoms who enjoy a challenge. A predicament bondage creates a situation where the bottom is 'between a rock and a hard place.' Which ever direction the bottom moves has consequences, either physical or psychological. It can challenge your endurance, your pain threshold, or your pride. Learn the strategies on how to plan a fun scene. The class will include several demos, and you may have an opportunity to volunteer for one. If you're a service bottom or an escape artist, you may get a new challenge!

[Beyond Twisted: Kink Outside The Box]
Ever feel boxed in by the definition and expectations of kinky sex? Do you want more fulfilling play? Would you like a more effective way to find out what the other person really wants and minimize scene failure? Want to better answer the question of "what are you into?" and have better play times? Find your self dissatisfied with scenes or frustrated at not having your desire accepted? Want to figure out how to create a multi person scene where everyone is happy? You're not alone! Ever notice the expectation that sadist must be a dominant and a submissive must be a masochist? Or vice a versa... Is this right? Wrong!
Join Midori in this hugely popular and unique class where she explodes the standard definitions of kink roles and expands the idea of what kink is all about. In "Beyond Twisted," she maps out a fine-tuned and flexible framework that anyone can use to help better describe their adventurous appetites. The first step to fulfilling your desire is to better understand them and effectively and appealingly sharing that with others. This is a class for those who want better play, or those don't quite fit into the standard boxes... and for anyone who's curious about their own possibly untapped potential!

[Interrogation & Military Scenes]
Crisp uniforms. Commanding women and dashing men. Relentless discipline. Cruel interrogators. Physically demanding training. Intimidating inquisitions and pointed questionings. If these images make your heart beat faster, then march don't walk to this class! Depending upon both the capacity of your playing facility and how you structure your scene, your interrogation or military play can involve only two people or a large cast with complicated coordination. In this presentation Midori will discuss the different types of military vs. interrogation scenes, how to prepare for them, how to maintain your chosen roles, and how to do it all safely. Scenes will be demonstrated right before your eyes!

I called LeatherMasters this afternoon and they should have the "official" schedule for Midori up and going by the middle of next week.
Then whoever wishes to attend can sign up and pay the fees.
This will probably hold true for Midori's official website as well. Her Dallas stop isn't on there, yet. I just don't wish to miss the opportunity to see her as a result of the classes being filled up!

I have had the pleasure of attending one of her Classes here in Houston several years ago, it was oriented to the Femdom aspects and she was great. I wish I could make the trip up but will probably be in the rivercity instead.

I'm not sure if I would ever use the boards to establish some "legitimacy".... but yes, this is the real deal. Midori is a very well known sex educator and if you have never attended one of her classes, this is a great time to do so.
If you are at all interested in discussions related to top/bottom, dominant/submissive and are willing to learn that what and where you "belong" does NOT involve a straight line, then take her Beyond Twisted class. It is highly educational and you always get additional perspective each time you take it.
