Program Features

Junior Manners Cotillion is a three year program. Each year builds on the previous. Once you have completed the First Year Program, you are invited to attend the 2nd Year Advanced Program. The “Out-and-About” Program is for our 3rd year students.

In each of the first two programs, the classes are once a month for an hour and a half. The program begins in September and ends in March.

Our First Year and Second Year Advanced programs are held in Alamo, Atherton, Burlingame, Los Altos and San Mateo.

Junior Manners Cotillion also offers an Assistant Program for 10th, 11th, or 12th, graders. If you have a boy or girl interested in learning manners, social skills and ballroom dance while helping to assist with a class, learn more by visiting our Student Assistant page.

Quick Start Option

Your child did not take the First Year Program
  • Now he/she wants to take the Second Year Advanced Program because of all the wonderful and fun things that he/she has heard about from friends who were brave enough to join last year.
  • You have bribed your child into taking this class if only he/she can be with friends
  • You are new to the area and just heard of the program
  • Last season, you did not hear of the program until it was to late to join
  • Your child is older 9th, 10th, grade and would prefer to come in at the higher level
No matter the reason, we have developed a Quick Start Option that is available in limited circumstances. For more information, speak with Mrs. Millet 650-340-9862
