Simpsons is no longer an option. The business didn't survive the pandemic. Her advanced age was also a factor. The business was put up for sale, but I don't think there were any takers.

What’s the difference of these programs now? Cost difference? Quality? Where are they located?

Check out JDW. We are a Nova family and go to Mrs Simpsons


How does one go to Mrs. Simpsons? If it is invitation-only, how do you get an invitation?

Not sure what the cotillion part is. My DCs did it for a few years and the format was about the same for each session. The dancing, manners, snack, receiving line, etc. are part of every class.

Mrs Simpsons has a few parents sign up to chaperone every dance and has cocktails with them. I know her well, and she is not a racist. Sorry liberal poster.


If she wasn't racist, would this complaint have been necessary?

Being accused of "Racism" doesn't mean one is guilty of that.

Just part of the bullying that goes on when people don't get their way.

22207 public schools here solicited to join Mrs Simpson. We laughed and told them to piss off.

My kids have done Mrs. Simpsons for a few years and we're a public school family. They love it and attend with a large group of their school friends. I think they enjoy it because it's different then their usually routine of sports and school.
