Welcome

Registration for the 2024/2025 JUNIOR COTILLION season is now open!

Classes are held on a series of Sundays.  There are two series available; please choose one when registration. All classes are held at the Junior Woman's Club.

Junior Cotillion is a program designed for children in grades 5-8. Year One (new students in 5th or 6th grade), is a mix of etiquette and dance instruction including the cha cha, fox trot, beach shag and line dances. The social and character education components of the program include introductions and proper rising, acknowledgment of gifts, correspondence and the RSVP, participating in group settings, polite conversation, paying and receiving compliments, manners in the home, rules of proper telephone courtesy, basic table manners and many other areas of social behavior. The highlight of the season is the final Grand Ball.

TUITION: $400, which includes all costs for the classes and ball. If more than one child in a family registers for the current year, the first child is full tuition and each additional child is half tuition.

MAKE UP CLASSES: If your child is unable to attend a class, they are welcome to attend the same class (for example Class 1) at any other time, day or location.  To view class schedules for other chapters, please select the Director Home tab and choose a chapter.
