NOW OFFERING:

Cotillion Courses: Teaching Grace, Confidence, and Leadership

At Reading Righting Arithmetic Inc., we are excited to offer Cotillion Courses, a timeless tradition that combines etiquette, social skills, and leadership training. Rooted in history yet highly relevant today, cotillion classes are designed to help students build confidence, poise, and respect for themselves and others.

What is Cotillion?

Cotillion is a structured course in manners, etiquette, and social dancing. Traditionally associated with young people’s introduction to society, today’s cotillion focuses on teaching essential life skills that never go out of style—such as respect, courtesy, confidence, and proper social interaction.

Program Highlights

• Etiquette Training – Table manners, introductions, thank-you notes, grooming, and respectful communication.

• Social Graces – How to carry oneself with confidence in formal and informal settings.

• Public Speaking & Confidence – Building the ability to converse with peers and adults, speak in front of groups, and lead with assurance.

• Cultural Awareness – Understanding traditions of respect and how they apply across different cultures.

• Social Dancing – Instruction in ballroom and contemporary partner dances, teaching rhythm, cooperation, and teamwork.

Who Can Join?

Cotillion courses are open to students of all backgrounds, typically ages 8–18, with sessions tailored to different age groups. Adult refresher sessions can also be arranged for professionals seeking to sharpen etiquette and networking skills.

Why Cotillion Matters Today

In an age of technology and fast-paced communication, the art of face-to-face interaction is more important than ever. Cotillion courses prepare participants for:

• Academic and professional interviews

• Social and community events

• Leadership roles in school, work, and beyond

• Everyday interactions that call for confidence and courtesy

Outcomes

Graduates of cotillion courses walk away with:

• A strong sense of self-confidence

• Practical etiquette skills they can use daily

• An appreciation for tradition and cultural respect

• Poise in both social and professional environments

​

Our goal is to bring pride and dignity back to urban communities by enhancing growth in these areas. We believe that raising awareness and knowledge in these areas will boost self-esteem along with providing a sense of respect for one another as individuals.
