2024 Cherry Hills Fall Cotillion

Instruction Overview

Each class includes instruction in etiquette, dance and refreshments.  The October class is the exception, with a tutorial 5 course meal focusing on table etiquette.

Etiquette Workbooks

Workbooks are given to students at the first class. Each month, a Polite and Proper in Public Challenge encourages them to practice the skills they learned in class.

Dress Code

Dress Code is an important aspect teaching respect for each other, for the host/ hostess and the shared values of our culture.

Ladies wear dresses or skirts of a modest length. Bare shoulder should be covered with a wrap. Pants, gauchos, leggings, etc. are not appropriate. (white gloves are optional)

Gentlemen wear traditional suits or sport coat and tie. Both ladies and gentlemen wear dress shoes appropriate for dancing (no athletic shoes, flip-flops or backless shoes).

The Graduation Ball is semi-formal.

Many of the skills we teach are universal (dining etiquette, introductions, etc.) and some are traditional gentlemen/lady roles (dress code, forms of address, dance courtesy).
