A family does not need to be a member of the country club to participate in the Gollatz Cotillion program.

Dancing is fun and will be a portion of the Cotillion. The Gollatz Cotillion does not consider itself to be a "dance class" as we feel learning social skills and manners are more important and beneficial to a child lasting a lifetime. White gloves are not a requirement for the girls. Parents and guests are always welcome to remain and observe the Cotillion class if appropriately dressed in business casual attire.
