The
Greenwood Junior Cotillion is a six-month program designed to
teach dance and social skills to students in 5th through 9th
grades. The season begins in September of each year, and
ends with the final ball in February.
In
addition to learning social etiquette, manners, and dance skills,
GJC students will gain a much increased self-confidence and strong
character that will carry through all aspects of adulthood.
Sessions
are conducted in a safe learning environment and will provide
opportunities to practice and enjoy these skills with friends
and classmates at memorable events with a blend of dance instruction,
refreshments, decorations, and fun.
Annually, we host the Holiday
Ball and the King and Queen of Hearts Ball in which the
students will be able to show off their new skills to parents
and onlookers. |
