2019-2020 Season Opens Soon
Junior Cotillion is a three-season program. Each season builds on the skills practiced the previous year. As the seasons progress, guests practice their social, communication and dance skills in a diversity of venues and events. The end result is a poised, confident, and well-mannered young adult able to hold their own in social situations. Membership is open to students in middle school.
