FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH, AND EIGHTH GRADE PROGRAMS:
The Junior Cotillion places as much emphasis on etiquette, manners, and character education as it does on dancing. The social and character education components of the program include rules of proper telephone courtesy; acknowledgement of gifts; introductions; receiving lines; participating in group settings; polite conversation; paying and receiving compliments; sports etiquette; first impressions; dress code for all occasions; manners in the home and in public; table manners; formal place settings; stlyes of dining including American, Asian, and Continental; skills involved in being a guest, host, or hostess; and many other areas of social behavior. Other topics covered are the ethics involved in the areas of having honor, dignity, respect, fairness, a caring attitude, accountability, and citizenship. Dance instruction includes steps in the Foxtrot, Shag Swing, Waltz, Cha Cha, as well as instruction in current dance lines.
The Junior Cotillion setting encourages young ladies and gentlemen to be comfortable together, make new friends, and enjoy themselves. After constant practice in a peer group, young ladies and gentlemen are expected to leave the program with the confidence and poise that comes from knowing the proper etiquette in any social situation. Instruction in dancing and etiquette will be given throughout all sessions. The Balls allow formal opportunities to practice all training. The highlight of the year for Junior Cotillion is the Grand Spring Ball. Students in Year II have an instructional five course dinner.
Tuition: Membership dues for Year I are $350 and include all costs for the training and balls. Membership dues for Year II are $375 and include all costs for the training and balls, plus an instructional dinner. We highly recommend that you send in your reservation early, as class sizes are limited and are filled on a first- come, first served basis.
