[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what is wrong with cotillion. When I went in middle school, the purpose was to learn more traditional dances that you might see at a wedding (waltz, fox trot, etc) and fun dances, like the pretzel. Laugh all you want but I still know all of them today and it is very fun to do things like the pretzel at events if you can find someone that knows how. Every week had a theme (Halloween, Rodeo, Holly Ball). Ours wasn't a manners class, but you had to be polite. We literally just danced. The nights were organized by schools so kids were going with their classmates and there was a strong attempt for gender balance. At my college, they actually had a PE called "social dance" which basically was the exact same thing, and it was the most popular PE at the school and the hardest to get into (and I went to a huge flagship public university). Not everyone is lucky enough to be on Dancing with the Stars to learn how to dance. I was disappointed in the NOVA cotillions and aren't sending my children to the ones here. But in my hometown people still send their children to the same one I went to as a child, and it has a very diverse attendance.[/quote]
