[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cotillion is a part of traditional society. If a family finds it valuable and is invited, then go.  If a family decides it is not valuable, then skip.

Make whichever choice makes sense for your family's situation, but either way one should expect any cotillion to be fairly traditional culturally. [/quote]

I sure wish someone would come up with something a little more 21st century, because GOODNESS kids need so.much.help with etiquette and social skills and it's such a shame that you would limit participation based on BALLROOM DANCING RATIOS.[/quote]

What about an etiquette class?[/quote]

If anyone has any suggestions of one that's more than just forks, I'd love it. We've bought various kid etiquette books (eg Brooke Romney's) and we make our kids read them and pass quizzes on the forks etc (for rewards - they think it's fun). But would welcome other IRL classes etc that aren't cotillion. (And if there aren't any I can't help feeling like someone could do well in the DC area starting a new business.) [/quote]
