19^th Annual Jackson Cotillion 4th - 5th Grades

Class Meets: Thursdays, 5:00 - 6:30 p.m.

Cotillion is the foundation for learning important social skills through dance. Classes provide a safe and fun environment in which students become confident and comfortable in social situations. Refining and practicing good manners, at this influential age, offers rewards that will benefit children throughout their lives.

Curriculum includes: Introduction to Social Skills, Meeting New Friends, First Impressions, Respect & Consideration, Everyday Courtesies and Table Manners.

Dances include fox trot, bachata, swing hustle and folk dances.
 
Classes are progressive from year to year and instructors work with students based on their individual skill level and needs. New students at any level will find it easy to adapt and extra help is always available.

All classes are held at Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Building,
1150 Lakeland Drive. All classes have dance instruction.
