Welcome

Welcome to the Greater Westlake Denver Area Chapter of the National League of Junior Cotillions.  

Junior Cotillion is a character education program that teaches middle school students etiquette, manners and contemporary ballroom dancing skills. The goals of the program are to give young people self confidence and respect by providing instruction and practice in courtesies that make life more pleasant for them and those around them.   This year Junior Cotillion will be offered to 5th - 6th grade for Year 1.  7th and 8th graders will be able to take our Year 2 classes.   Classes meet once a month on Sunday afternoons starting in December, and they conclude with a grand final ball in April.  Classes will be held at Denver United Methodist Church.  

Please come and join us for our classes where we focus on building confidence, manners, etiquette instruction, character education, basic ballroom dance instruction, and fun!  Our mission statement says it all...to act and learn to treat others with honor, dignity, and respect.

 Please feel free to contact Kristin Vance, Director at [email protected] for additional information.
