The Gollatz Cotillion is by private invitation. Our program is a modernized Cotillion and manners class with updated instruction to captivate a child’s attention to third through sixth grade boys and girls. During each Cotillion class the children are taught good table manners; while learning core values and social skills. The older advanced students are challenged with additional instruction suited to their age. 

 

 The format of the Gollatz Cotillion is to mimic “real life” scenarios so a child will be prepared to attend a family dinner, a formal reception, a social gathering or just simply how to introduce themselves to someone  with confidence. The Gollatz Cotillion does not consider itself a “dance class” although Cotillion style dances will be taught (swing, cha-cha, fox-trot and other fun dances) which completes the social training. Cotillion is a training base for a child to learn and practice social skills that will benefit them their entire lifetime. Your child will enjoy and have fun at the Gollatz Cotillion!
