COTILLION

The Saturday Club is proud to continue in its long-standing tradition of hosting Cotillion classes. Today's Cotillion can be defined as "a group of young people assembled together to develop, respect, and appreciate their role in society through dance and social etiquette education." Under the direction of Mrs. Donald Best, beloved Cotillion instructor, children have the opportunity to develop socialization, communication, and dance skills that will have a positive impact throughout their lifetimes.

The students in the Cotillion learn a wide range of traditional and contemporary dances such as the waltz, jitterbug and cha-cha. Students learn how to address their partners properly, positioning, and footwork. Along the way, the students become confident with one another and learn how to extend an invitation to dance, introduce themselves and each other, and how to be seated. The Cotillion encourages students to develop a diversified appreciation of different types, styles, and generations of music.

Parents, leaders, and business people are recognizing the importance of social education and having skills in communication. The Cotillion program is dedicated to educating students in communication, manners, and social etiquette skills that will aid in opportunities today, as well as assist young people in being better prepared for their futures.
