Welcome to the Gollatz Cotillion
​
At the Gollatz Cotillion we strive to give children the essential social skills and manners that can be utilized throughout their lives. The Gollatz Team of Instructors believes that social skills and good manners are as important as academic success for children. The classes are designed for both boys and girls in grades third through sixth.
The engaging and interactive classes are thoughtfully designed to make learning etiquette enjoyable. Through real-life scenarios and fun Cotillion style dancing, students will gain invaluable skills, all while having fun and a great time!
​

Join us as we help shape confident, courteous young adults.
