Modern Day Cotillion

I heard of cotillion from people my age who had to wear white gloves back in the day.
Online, JDW Social Education Programs™, Cotillion or SEE Survival Etiquette Essentials, sells classes in social skills. Their photos have girls in white gloves.
The 5th grade girls were actually concerned about touching boys' hands - after all, after recess, those hands are often filthy.
I've contacted JDW to see what they do.
The important thing is to get a group together. Sometimes a mother or a group of girls have gotten a dance class going for a season.
Maybe the activity needs to be sold as "an educational investment that builds a strong foundation for developing positive relationships that will last a lifetime."
Perhaps the Mary French Scholarship could give such a program a boost.
We in the arts do have to compete with the sports, our society's craze.
Also,even if it runs in Milton, will it run on Cape?
