[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's all I know about this: my husband did a cotillion like thing in his hometown and he has said he will not allow our kids to do it. He's not one to put his foot down about much, but he thinks it's outdated elitist nonsense.[/quote] It sounds like your husband had a bad experience, and I am sincerely sorry about that. But I am also confused by his statement. My impression is that cotillion is about learning social dances, learning formal manners, learning to introduce oneself and make small talk, and learning formal table manners. Those all seem like decent skills/things to know, so I guess I'm wondering what is elitist or nonsensical about it. Is the problem just in the way that cotillion programs are taught/presented, or is there an objection to the actual content?[/quote]
