The Gollatz Cotillion, believes social skills, including good table manners, core values and etiquette are equally essential to a child's academic and life achievement (offered to grades fourth through eighth, boys and girls). Our classes are carefully designed to make learning manners fun and interactive. With the guidance of our experienced and dedicated Gollatz Team, your child will be on their way to becoming a well-rounded confident individual. The advanced students (6th-8th) are challenged with additional instruction suited to their age. 

 

The Cotillion program focuses on scenarios to mimic real life while giving children the skills they need to interact in social situations. Students will gain confidence and feel comfortable though social experiences. Cotillion style dancing is also included as a fun way to learn and socialize with others.
