Overview: Directed by Valerie Macdonald, The Cotillion Group specializes in offering
affordable cotillion programs and social education to adults, children, and young adults. These superior programs include lessons in ballroom and popular dance along with invaluable “Etiquette for Life” training. The classes have been well received at country clubs, event facilities, hotels, churches, and schools throughout Atlanta and its metropolitan area.

Welcome to The Cotillion Group! We have a lot of exciting things in store for people of all ages. We specialize in teaching self confidence, manners and etiquette, skills for life, and ballroom dancing with a program that has been effective for over 25 years!
The Cotillion Group offers many classes in the Greater Metro Atlanta and now Macon areas. We are looking to expand to any market that has a need for these type of services. I hope to get a chance to meet each and every one of you and show you just how fun and effective Cotillion Group programs can be!

We are thrilled to be offering a new program in Canton! Classes will be held on Thursday evenings, starting January 23, 2020. Classes will be 6-7:30 pm at Cherokee Charter Academy.
This is not your grandmother’s cotillion! The students will learn basic ballroom dancing and popular dance (Shag, Swing, Free Style, Line and Slow), as well as many important social and professional skills the students will need to know now and throughout their lives. The classes will culminate in a Parents Showcase displaying the program as parents observe all their child has learned.
You can expect your child to gain confidence in our classes, and learn how to greet, shake hands and converse with adults—an all-important skill as the dating years approach. They will also discuss social media etiquette! But most of all, your teen will have fun!
The Cotillion Group is a well-respected and widely-known organization that has reached students across metro Atlanta for over twenty-five years. The Canton Cotillion at Sixes offers a wonderful opportunity for your child to grow in confidence and gain important social skills for facing their high school years and beyond.
Registration will open later this Fall.
We are looking for some volunteers to serve as Board Members. Board Members promote the program and help to spread the word.
If you are interested in your child receiving an invitation or helping with the Board, please contact Valerie Macdonald, Director.
