GENERAL SUMMARY

The purpose of the National League of Junior Cotillions is to offer young people instruction and practice in the courtesies that make life more pleasant for them and those around them, to offer thorough training in standard ballroom dance and to provide opportunities to practice and enjoy the skills at memorable parties, dances/classes and balls complete with decorations, refreshments, favors and prizes.

The Junior Cotillion program for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students begins with the first class in the fall for a total of 7 events. They meet once a month for an hour and a half during the academic school year from fall to spring, skipping December.

A Pre-Cotillion program is also offered for elementary school students. In the fall, we invite 3rd-5th graders to join us for three 75 minute classes that meet once a month in September, October and November. First and 2nd grade students are invited to join us in the spring for three 75 minute classes, dates TBA.

PRE-COTILLION for 1st-5th grade students has been offered since 2022. This popular nationwide program includes instruction that gets younger students ready for Junior Cotillion in middle school. We offer classes for 3rd, 4th & 5th graders in the Fall; we offer classes for 1st & 2nd grade in the Spring.  Please pre-register your elementary school student, as these sessions fill up quickly at Cherokee.

JUNIOR COTILLION   HAS A NEW CLASS ADDED THIS YEAR AT FOX DEN COUNTRY CLUB!! Due to the large number of 6th graders and to offer a more convenient location for Farragut families, we have added a group. We now offer three class groups. We offer two classes at Cherokee Country Club, one on Tuesday evenings and one on Wednesday evenings. We offer one class at Fox Den on Thursday evenings. Please sign up depending on the name of your child's school.  If your school is not listed, please choose the location and class that best fits your family's schedule.
