The Junior Cotillion places as much emphasis on etiquette, manners and character education as it does on dancing.  The social and character education components of the program include rules of proper telephone courtesy; acknowledgements of gifts; introductions; receiving lines; participating in group settings; polite conversations; paying and receiving compliments; sports etiquette; first impressions; dress code for all occasions; manners in the home and in public; table manners; formal place settings; styles of dining including American, Asian and Continental; skills involved in being a guest, hostess or host; and many other areas of social behavior.  Other topics covered are the ethics involved in the areas of having honor, dignity, respect, fairness, a caring attitude, accountability, and citizenship.  Dance instruction includes steps in the Foxtrot, Shag Swing, Waltz, and Cha Cha Cha, as well as instruction in current line dances. 


The Junior Cotillion setting encourages young ladies and gentlemen to be comfortable together, make new friends and enjoy themselves.  After constant practice in a peer group, young ladies and gentlemen are expected to leave the program with the confidence and poise that come from knowing the proper etiquette in any social situation.  Instruction in dancing and etiquette will be given through all sessions.  The balls allow formal opportunites to practice all training.  The highlight of the year for Junior Cotillion is the Grand Spring Ball.  Students in their second season have an instructional five-course dinner.  All dance and etiquette training is taught according to grade level.


We highly recommend that you send in your reservation early, as class sizes are limited and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes are filled according to the date the tuition is received. Tuition may be paid in full with the application or half with the application and the remaining half by October 1.  There will be no refunds except in the case of extraordinary circumstances such as moving or illness, in fairness to students who are placed on the waiting list.  Monthly payments may be accepted; please contact the Director for details.
