[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a small town cotillion. It’s not always a debutante ball. We just went to a dance every month. We wore a nice day dress, listened to a manners lesson, took a dance lesson, then danced with the other middle schoolers. No different than any other after school activity.

In the partner dance world, it’s very common for members of the lgbtq community to learn to both lead and follow. In dances, I’d occasionally dance with someone of the same gender. The teachers referred to leaders and followers for this reason. It was nbd. [/quote]

Same here, I did Cotillion in Winston Salem NC.  tons of middle class kids did. We all went to the same place_ Floretta Baylin Ballroom and Cotillion.   Weekly dance class, one big final dance at a country club. This was middle school. None of us ever became debutantes or were members of a country club. It was fun. not sure if I will ever need to know how to waltz again though.  And watching Bridgerton, I was one of the few of my friends who knew what a dance card was.  its very very old school![/quote]

I think people are confusing cotillion and debutant balls. [/quote]

I definitely am--I always thought that the debutante ball was the culmination of the cotillion classes. Is that not correct? [/quote]

debutante is something where you introduce your daughter to society

cotillion is a bunch of etiquette classes with a final dinner/dance. [/quote]
