JUNIOR COTILLION PREMIERE CLASS--Year III

Tuition is $400 per season.

The Premiere Program is open to new and returning 8th grade students and to 9th grade students who may have missed a season. This program will meet for three classes and three social events. We will be building upon the etiquette skills taught in Junior Cotillion classes. New students are welcome as well--we will be doing some review at the first of the year. The program gives the students the opportunity to learn new skills and then go out into the community to practice!

The Premiere season will be made up of classes and social events. Social events will be activities such as a restaurant outing to practice ordering from a menu and dining-out etiquette, classroom time with international and business etiquette guidelines, and a Grand Spring Ball with a 5-course dinner.  We are looking forward to an incredible season!

HIGH SCHOOL COTILLION CLUB

Tuition is $410 for the season.

The High School Cotillion Club will consist of 5 events, including classes, a business luncheon, an outing to the theater, and a culminating formal Ball and 5-Course dinner at the end of the year. This program provides a diverse selection of events planned to give the students experience in dealing with challenging social situations, such as job interviews, networking, public speaking, and formal introductions. Before our Cotillion students head out to begin adult life in college and/or the business world, our goal is to help them be prepared to interact with others in a way that leaves a positive impression. Our events change from year to year, however we consistently teach important skills, such as, formal dining, networking, polite conversation. We also focus on what it means to be a person of noble character, demonstrating honor, dignity, and respect for others. The Loudoun Cotillion 2022-23 season will be amazing! Join us!    

Our Debutante program, which is open to young ladies ages 15-18, is designed to promote leadership skills, encourage team work, and provide them with a show-stopping addition to their resumes. Our hope for our Debutantes is that they will find friends for life as they serve the community and each other. As they plan and orchestrate service projects, they will practice public speaking, hone their organizational skills, and develop leadership qualities. Examples of past service projects include--the Senior Citizen Ball, 5K for Breast Cancer research, and the "Coat"illion Project--gathering winter wear for Mobile Hope. We want our Debutantes to step out of their comfort zones, to value work, and to think positively as they serve together! Workshops, social activities, a formal photo shoot, and community service events will culminate in the dazzling Debutante Ball and formal dinner to celebrate our amazing young women. At the Ball, the Debutantes will be introduced individually and perform together a choreographed waltz with their fathers (or other male mentor) and a foxtrot with their marshals (young men escorts.) The Debutante program is truly a one-of-a-kind, life-changing experience for our amazing young women. 

**Please note--this program is only offered every other year and must have a minimum enrollment of 12 young ladies in order to be held. Encourage friends to participate!
