We did the Wheaton School of Dance / Shannon Rush cotillion at Visitation for 8th grade private Catholic school kids this fall, but it ended in December. I don't think there's another one this winter.

Looking for details re the Visitation Cotillion, not Cap Cotillion.

Does anyone know if this still exists? Per my 8th grader, people did it last year and it fills up quickly. I can’t find anything online about it though.

We did Miles Simpson but I think Covid out that out of business but was very helpful on manners. Maybe Capital Cotillion still is operating?

It is not weird. It is a social activity. It is a series of dances It is learning a few polite manners. It is learning to communication with peers. It is a gathering without cell phones.

Weird

My DD did it years ago and DS was invited last year but was unable to attend. It was a great way to meet other 8th grade kids at the Catholic schools who turned out to be future classmates in high school. And after the dance, there was a meet up at McDonalds. Fun times.

Loads of kids still do Cotillion.

- not OP

OMG, please tell me this is not a real thing.

It's no longer 1956

Does anyone know if Mrs Dollahite’s cotillion (that is hosted at Visitation for the local 8th grade private Catholic schools) is happening his year?

I tried calling the phone number from last year and there was no answer / message.

I believe it usually starts next weekend.
