Welcome

Welcome to the Faulkner County Chapter of Junior Cotillions. We are beyond excited to offer the opportunity to teach etiquette, manners, and basic ballroom dancing to the next generation. Not only will they have a great time, but this experience will also build confidence and create memories that will last a lifetime.

“Good character is not given to us. We have to build it – piece by piece- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.” (John Luther)   

NLJC believes that when one pursues good character, one grows into noble character.

Are you impressed when a young person greets you with a good handshake? Do you desire for your child to act and treat others with honor, dignity, and respect? Do you want your child to learn the skills of polite conversation and to value personal, face to face interaction with others? I believe that character education is of utmost importance and hope that you will consider registering your child. We use the tools of etiquette and ballroom dance training to encourage a higher standard of character development.

Cotillion is about feeling confident and comfortable, while making others around you feel the same way in every social situation. Junior Cotillion gives middle school age boys and girls instruction and practice in social skills that build confidence and self-assurance. A group setting provides opportunities for reinforcement and practice with peers in a fun, socially safe atmosphere. Each class follows a carefully structured curriculum that addresses manners, etiquette and basic ballroom dancing. The goal of the program is to teach social skills that last a lifetime. A guiding principle is that students learn best when they are having a good time. The Cotillion year consists of SIX events–five once-a-month classes, and a spring ball.

We hope you will add Cotillion to your child’s educational opportunities. You'll never regret the investments made in your children.
