​                                                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!                       

​

 ​​                                   Listed Below are a  "Few" of the Manners Instructed During the Cotillion Season 

Throughout the Cotillion season, each class will address a range of important topics including: how to navigate social gatherings; introducing oneself to others; maintaining eye contact during conversations; how to make a toast; being a gracious guest; and mastering dining skills (such as proper utensil use and the place setting) and so much more..

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