The St. Ives Cotillion Grade 8

The St. Ives Cotillion second year, advanced, or eighth grade program includes instruction in the following social skills:

• How to make good first impressions
• Interviewing skills
• Dress for success
• Communication one-on-one
• Consider the dating scene (walking through the initial date)
• Table Manners
• Restaurant Etiquette

The dancing taught will advance some of the more popular steps from the first year program as well as introduce, among others, some 70’s Hustle, Latin, and a major Swing/Jitterbug routine in its six week class duration. Lasting one and one-half hours on consecutive weeks, the final class allows the students to practice their skills at a Dinner Dance for the more formal evening classes or at an informally catered event sponsored by the after-school parent-committee.
