[quote=Anonymous]I feel like some of you commenting have never had an 11 or 12 year-old child. My kids did cotillion and it was a positive experience. I saw that even more as they got slightly older.   They did it with their school friends and by 6th and 7th grade, the boys and girls who had avoided each other like the plague in 3rd and 4th had developed nice friendships and had years of experience dancing with each other.  Since the kids join with friends, cotillion was always a safe space where the kids could learn how to be together in a different setting from school, a more formal setting with different rules.  They will rarely need to waltz in adult life, but I could definitely see how my boys got more comfortable with themselves and their own bodies in social settings through that practice. Middle school is hard. A little organized practice in social situations benefits most kids and working through your own uncomfortableness is a safe space is how you become comfortable with yourself.   [/quote]
