League of Junior Cotillions starts local chapters
The National League of Junior Cotillions, a program of
etiquette, character education, and social dance training for
middle and junior high school students, has announced plans to
establish its national program in Douglas and Arapahoe
counties.
The purpose of the NLJC program is to give students instruction
and practice in the courtesies that make life more pleasant for
them and those around them. Students actively learn courtesies
through a creative method employing role playing, skits, and
games.
Standard ballroom and line dancing is taught using nationally
approved top 40 music.
In addition to the usual courtesies connected with dancing and
etiquette, character instruction is also provided regarding the
following: honor, respect, ethics, sportsmanship, acknowledgments
of gifts, behavior at cultural and civic events, correspondence,
inter-action in groups, introductions, paying and receiving
compliments, receiving lines, table manners, instructional dinners,
electronic etiquette, cell phone courtesy, and many other areas of
social conduct.
Applications or nominations for a cotillion director are
currently being received. For additional information call
