Welcome to Boise Cotillion

Welcome to Boise Cotillion

Hello! Thank you for your interest in Boise Cotillion. Boise Cotillion was established in 1998. Over 3,500 children in the greater Treasure Valley have participated in Boise Cotillion. Themed dance parties are held monthly in a beautiful ballroom. Each monthly party builds on the social graces taught from the prior dance, along with professional dance instruction. Cotillion serves children in the 4th-9th grades. Cotillion dress is traditional semi-formal or themed, and girls wear gloves. The Cotillion Season is held from November-April.

We are excited about the return to Cotillion in the Fall of 2022. The new season will begin in early November. We are expecting a large enrollment, as Cotillion has been on hold for the last two seasons. All Alumni will receive an early Cotillion Invitation. Newly interested, may pre-register on the website to receive an early invitation in the Fall. Register on the Enrollment Page (see tab above). This is a pre-registration which means that you will receive an early emailed early Cotillion invitation, just 3 days after alumni and prior to the open posting on the website along with public outreach. When pre-registered you will also receive our newsletter updates. All new enrollees will need to pay a registration fee, along with the Cotillion fee at time of enrollment anyway. Enrollments will begin in early September 2022.

If you are newly interested in Cotillion please read the information below and then go to the green enrollment tab above to pre-register for an early invitation.

Best Regards,

What is Cotillion?

Cotillion has been around since the early 1800’s. Today Cotillions are present in many cities. Cotillion is considered by many, to be a part of a child’ social education.

Boise Cotillion will offer dance instruction and exposure to proper social etiquette, in a fun, age appropriate party atmosphere. Children will gain an appreciation of the joy of a variety of music and dance, as well as practice good manners and gracious behavior. Each party/lesson will offer instruction in traditional social dances as well as popular favorites. Partners are arranged, and change often. Each child will have approximately eight different partners per night. Emphasis will be placed on proper social etiquette and fun.

Through instruction and practice, good manners become second nature, and children gain confidence and poise because they know how to handle themselves in a variety of social situations. They have fun with their friends, meet new friends from throughout the city, dance, win prizes and enjoy refreshments, while learning social etiquette that will contribute to future success. The parties will be strictly supervised by a combination of the Cotillion directors, the dance instructor, paid assistants and parent chaperones. Appropriate behavior is required of all Cotillion members.

Cotillion Dress

Young ladies shall wear a party dress and appropriate dancing shoes. Shoes should be comfortable, and the heels appropriate for dancing. Cotillion dress is on the conservative side. Please no strapless, backless, midriff or dresses that are too revealing. Short white gloves are required.

Gentlemen shall wear a suit or sports coat (blazer and khakis) tie, dark socks, and shoes that are leather type tie or loafer, no athletic shoes. Theme dances, the dress should be appropriate to theme or Cotillion wear.
