Welcome

NLJC Mission Statement

To act and learn to treat others with honor, dignity and respect for better relationships with our family, friends and business associates later in life and to learn to practice ballroom dance. 

The National League of Junior Cotillions doesn't just teach etiquette and ballroom dancing. The purpose of the Junior Cotillion program is to give young people instruction and practice in courtesies that make life more pleasant for them and those around them. Having the knowledge of social skills is important for every child's success in life.  Through a program that builds self-confidence, character, and ethical behavior, we're dedicated to making a positive impact on young people and helping them become tomorrow's leaders.

We are pleased to announce the winners of the Best Mannered People of 2023 Parents and students love to see who "makes the cut" each year. This student-nominated list is a great way to see who our students value each year. Thanks for all of your nominations, and congratulations to this year's winners! 

Each year, Cotillion students and Directors nationwide nominate numerous individuals for the “Ten  Best-Mannered People” award. NLJC^® strives to recognize the individuals that students look to as  frontrunners in social etiquette, all-encompassing manners, and overall, with strong and replicable leadership qualities. These traits are the essence of the NLJC curriculum and foundational components that are embedded within the Junior Cotillion curriculum which has served over 50,000 students to date. 

Thank you to those students that participated and submitted your selection that I then forwarded to our National Office to be included with this National process.

(CHARLOTTE, NC) – Coco Gauff, selected for giving inspiration to young aspiring tennis players to chase their dreams with passion and determination, heads "Ten Best-Mannered People" list published by the National League of Junior Cotillions^® (NLJC).

“These selections are made based on each person’s commitment to honor, dignity, and mannerly conduct,” says President, Charles Winters. “We feel these ten individuals have distinguished themselves through admirable character and conduct, and we commend them for their ongoing contributions to society.”

The top “Ten Best-Mannered People” are:

• Coco Gauff – for displaying humility when she won her first major title in the U.S. Open and for being an inspiration to many young girls. 
• Margot Robbie – for being a fantastic actor known for her genuine and engaging personality and for raising money for charity on the set of the 'Barbie' movie. 
• Cristiano Ronaldo –for exceptional sportsmanship while on the soccer field when he selflessly denied a penalty call during the Asian Champions League game               against Persepolis.  
• Lauren Daigle – for being a highly respected role model to many and for inspiring people through her music. 
• Jalen Hurts – for his leadership, sportsmanship, and positive influence both on and off the football field and for giving back to the Philadelphia community. 
• Ben and Erin Napier– for helping others by using their passion and hobby to change and revitalize their hometown by renovating homes in Laurel, Mississippi.  They are now known as the hosts of HGTV's 'Home Town' which is starting the 8th season and continuing to do great work in Laurel and surrounding areas. 
• Selena Gomez – for generously supporting charities and for being warm and polite to her fans despite her success.
• Taylor Swift– for her generosity when she gave handwritten letters of appreciation and bonuses totaling more than $55 million to those working on the Eras Tour.
• Austin Riley– for his dedication to his fans and teammates while on the baseball field.  
• Tom Holland– for inspiring many fans through his generosity to people in need and for using his platform to increase awareness about poverty and other social issues.
