As our society and technology evolves, the Gollatz Cotillion

specializes in a modern format with an updated

instructional approach for today's child.

* Social Skills  * Table Manners

* Senior Club Life Skills for Success

NEW* Basic Self - Defense with media awareness

*Children's Social Training

 

The Gollatz Experience Provides Unique Instructional Programs  

The Gollatz Cotillion provides instruction in social manners and simple "Cotillion style" dance steps to both boys and girls. In today's ever changing society and technology, several of our communities go beyond any Cotillion program and host basic self-defense and escape techniques. Our class will make your child more observant of their surroundings as they learn "command presence". The parents are encouraged and compelled by the Instructors to be involved in their child's social media choices. The event will be led by highly qualified guest Instructors.

Reviews

To the Gollatz Cotillion: It is important that I write to you and express my sincere gratitude from many families: Thank you so much for refunding each  Cotillion family both present and future. When Cotillion can resume, families will have the option to attend a new season and not be given a "credit" for postponed dates as others are doing. You have done the right thing and we as a Cotillion community appreciate your actions. 

Best Regards, T. Thomas

Wow! I just finished the class with self-defense and I am not going to the mall by myself anymore. I did not know your attitude had a lot to do with how you others see you. 

I really learned a bunch. Thanks, G.G. Chapman
