Junior League of the Palm Beaches and Junior Assembly Combine Forces
to Offer a Dynamic Cotillion Schedule for Eligible Students

Palm Beach County – The Junior League of the Palm Beaches is once again joining forces with Junior Assembly for the 2014-2015 Cotillion season. Cotillion is the Junior League’s oldest program. The purpose of Cotillion is to cultivate young people to develop, appreciate, and respect their roles in society through dance and social etiquette education. The program was founded on the principles of personal pride, social confidence and community involvement.

Cotillion meets the second Wednesday of each month, from October to April (excluding March). All six sessions will be held in Palm Beach, rotating between The Colony Hotel, The Beach Club, and Mar-A-Lago.

Dances are scheduled as follows:

• Groovin’ in the Graveyard’ October 8^th at The Colony Hotel;
• ‘Turkey Trot’ November 12^th  at The Beach Club;
• ‘Snowflake Ball’ December 10^th at Mar-A-Lago;
• ‘Country Hoe Down’ January 14^th at The Beach Club;
• ‘Cupid’s Ball’ February 11^th at The Colony Hotel; and
• ‘Red Carpet Ball’ April 8^th at Mar-A-Lago.

Ages and times are divided as follows: Kindergarten – 2^nd grade from 4 – 5:15 p.m., 3^rd – 5^th grade from 5:15 – 6:30 p.m., 6^th – 9^th grade 6:30 – 8 p.m., with the Red Carpet Ball as an all ages event from 5:30 – 8 p.m.
