What a elegant way to conclude the Cotillion season with a plated dinner, array of dances, and review of manners and social skills. A Complete dinner will be served to each Cotillion student that includes a house salad, dinner rolls, main entree and chef's choice of dessert. (Please inform the office about any allergies or dietary restrictions). The Cotillion students will be separated by table and grade. It is requested that parents and guests not remain in the ballroom, the foyer will be available.

   

Parents and guests are always welcome to stay and observe the Cotillion class if appropriately dressed in business casual attire. During the "dinner event" each student is served a complete dinner along with dining skills.

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 personally feel learning social skills and manners are more important and beneficial to a child lasting a lifetime.
