Dogwood Cotillion was established in 1989 to provide a program for young people to have the opportunity to practice and develop social skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The skills learned through the cotillion program are invaluable to young people. They will use these skills when interacting with others socially through school, sports, work and family.

Currently, we are gathering information for those children interested in participating in our Winter 2025 Cotillion session. Each session consists of 4 one hour and fifteen minute classes, held one time per week. During each class, we will introduce dances as well as discuss different topics of etiquette and social skills, including telephone manners, introductions, eye contact, thank you notes, dining etiquette, and more.  If your child will be in 5th grade for the 2024-25 school year and would like to receive an invitation in late August to register for one of our Dogwood Cotillion sessions, please complete the following Interest Form.

 >>>INTEREST FORM <<<

Please note that by completing this interest form, you are not obligated to register your child for Dogwood Cotillion. When invitations are emailed, you will have an opportunity to review the Winter 2025 Dogwood Cotillion session schedule at Dogwood Cotillion prior to registration. In addition, completing the interest form does not guarantee your child a spot. You will receive an invitation to register, but spots will be available on a first come, first served basis.

Students who participate in these 5th grade sessions will be invited to attend future Dogwood Cotillion sessions where we expand on the dances and social skills taught from the previous years and introduce additional age appropriate topics.

We are excited for this upcoming year of Dogwood Cotillion and look forward to having your child join us!

Sincerely,

Renee Smith and Brenda Laskey

Dogwood Cotillion Co-Directors
