What are Cotillion classes and why?
Cotillion (kuh-TIL-yun) is a time honored tradition. Cotillion classes equip your children with the confidence to navigate the world through teaching manners, etiquette, kindness, social intelligence, and beyond. Beyond etiquette and manners, Social dance is a big component, as it also allows our future generation to push beyond their comfort zone for more positive growth!
When you take part in a Cotillion program like ours, you are also starting the networking process with your children! In our BIG world, it is essential to have skills and connections such as these!

What sets our program apart from other Cotillion programs?
We are called “Modern” for a reason. We touch on all the basics of Manners, Etiquette, and Social Dance of Cotillion, yet we focus on the emotional intelligence and mindset component. This is a confidence booster and allows children to navigate and integrate into social circles well.
We dive deep into managing today’s tech world, so we may better connect with people in this new generation. Humans are humans and we haven’t changed as a species, yet harvesting the innate instinct of connection and social engagement is so important with the right tool chest.
We also serve our community and partake in ways to give back quite often.
Our main goal with Modern E Manners, is to instill so much greatness into our future generation that they become unstoppable!
