Classes
Precotillion is introduction into etiquette for our youngest learners. It introduces them to appropriate citizenship inside and outside the home. It develops a sense of respect and honor for themselves, their family members, friends and teachers. For first and second grade the students learn manners in the home, being introduced and shaking hands, paying and receiving compliments, birthday party etiquette, basic table manners and utensil use, as well as social dance in a positive and uplifing experience. Our third and forth grade students learn more advanced greetings and rules of introductions, sports etiquette, fast food and dining etiquette, friendship etiquette and a basic line dance.
The students in 6th grade year one will have a curriculum that includes: 5 social dances, formal introduction skills and how to conduct small talk, reception etiquette, social media etiquette, sports etiquette, 3 course dining etiquette, elevator/door/social outing etiquette, and dressing for success etiquette. They will also have a formal ball held in January 2025 that will display all of their social dances learned throughout the program.
