Cotillion & etiquette classes in Dallas–Fort Worth
Every cotillion and etiquette class we found in Dallas–Fort Worth, with the dates parents miss most: when registration opens and closes, and when refunds end.
What is cotillion? A series of classes in manners, introductions, table etiquette and social (ballroom) dance, usually ending in a dinner dance or ball. Etiquette schools skip the dancing.
Typical grades Mostly 4th–8th grade. One JDW class starts in 3rd grade; some National League of Junior Cotillions (NLJC) chapters and The Dallas School of Etiquette also teach high schoolers.
When to sign up NLJC seasons run from late summer into winter or spring (Frisco and Plano open Feb 1 for the next year). JDW and Chaplin winter and spring sessions open in the fall and fill first come, first served.
