[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak for other groups, but our University Park Junior Cotillion has as much ethnic diversity as the community, which is quite a bit.

And we should clear up some other unwarranted generalizations that 11:04 is making. My son and his friends have never caught flak from anyone for participating in cotillion. I'd really like to know where 11:04 went to school, and where his son goes, that has that kind of anti-culture culture. Seriously, 11:04, I think you're making it up.

As a dad, I wouldn't subject my son to an activity that made him miserable or subjected him to ridicule. By the same token, as a graduate of a boys' school, like my son attends, I know the value of participating in coed extracurriculars.

I never heard of cotillion when I was growing up, but I took a few ballroom dancing classes to get ready for waltzes in college and a swing dance in grad school. Those classes and dances were great times, and my partners appreciated that I knew what I was doing well enough to lead them. Later, my wife and I took some classes just for fun before we had kids.

Any man who likes music, physical activity, and the touch of a woman, can enjoy dancing. If a boy has a chance to join cotillion, no mature, knowledgeable person would make fun of him for participating.
