Welcome to Capital Cotillion

Capital Cotillion provides a dance and social etiquette program for children in grades 3-8, in an inclusive, age-appropriate and fun-filled environment, enabling all children to learn in a welcoming and congenial atmosphere. We believe that etiquette is a lifelong journey, and is learned and retained through repeated exposure. For this reason, we encourage our students to participate in the program for several consecutive years. We believe that these skills are essential to develop confident and successful adults. Capital Cotillion is open to children of all races, religions and ethnic backgrounds.

Current Registration Status

For those on wait lists, we will be in touch in late August or early September as things tend to be quiet over the summer.

The 2025-2026 Schedule is posted – see the Schedule tab – school trends are also posted here.

For registration – open the form here.

Third grade registration – boys AND girls are waitlisted in 3A because the class is close to full.  3rd graders may also register for the 3/4B class.  Register for the wait list send an email with both names if you are hoping to come in with a friend.

Early registration for returning students to get on the wait list expired on May 3rd.

Rising 4th grade boys may register now for 4C or for the 3/4B wait list – girls are waitlisted in both classes and may come in with a registering boy. 3/4B is close to full, so groups of 4th graders hoping to enroll together may want to select 4C.

5th grade – boys may register for either class – girls are waitlisted in both classes and may come in with a registering boy.  Both classes are filling quickly.

6C – we have closed the 6C girls wait list.  There are already enough girls who completed early registration to fill this class and we are not taking any additional names.  Girls may ask to be notified in the event that a group of students decides to move to 6B, but that is unlikely at this point.

Boys are now waitlisted in the 6C class and will be contacted if there is space available.  We strongly recommend all new registrants select 6B and ask friends to join you.  Girls are waitlisted in 6B and may come in with a registering boy.

7th and 8th graders – 7/8C.  Boys may register for 7/8C – girls will register for the wait list and may recruit a boy (email both names to accounting@capitalcotillion.com).

  7A lots of room and both boys and girls are waitlisted and may come in as pairs, or friend groups that are balanced.
