About Cotillion

Cotillion

A long Southern tradition, Cotillion is a social club for preteens and teens that is centered on etiquette, manners and social interaction. Different organizations offer a variety of interaction from ballroom dancing and table manners to more modern lessons like social media etiquette.

Our Legacy

Founded in 1975, The Baton Rouge Cotillion, Inc. is a non-profit organization comprised of approximately 1500 members in grades 7th-12th across the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area. Our organization, led by our Board of Directors, support parents in cultivating success by offering educational opportunities that focus on the development of social skills, etiquette, table manners, and dance. The Baton Rouge Cotillion membership is made up of students from approx. 20+ schools in the City of Baton Rouge and is divided into two groups: Junior Cotillion, consisting of seventh and eighth grade students, and Senior Cotillion, consisting of ninth through twelfth grade students.

Membership

Each year in January, The Baton Rouge Cotillion membership proposes new members who are then selected through a lottery. If you are interested in membership, but do not know a current member that can propose you, please contact our Membership Chair: membership@thebatonrougecotillion.org
