I am confident my son excelled in his successful Harvard interview in part because of the skills he learned in cotillion.
Using the skills I learned in Cotillion helped me earn a leadership award from the United States Naval Academy.
Cotillion not only gave me the opportunity to learn etiquette and ballroom dance, but also to earn a national cotillion award.
Poise that opens doors.
For her 2025–2026 Debutante Presentation Society service project, Elizabeth assembled care packages for our nation's veterans — and was received at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The introductions, the handshake, the gracious conversation: every courtesy practiced in cotillion, lived out on a national stage.
