How Long Have You Been in Business? After inheriting Piedmont Cotillions from our mentor, the previous owner, in the fall of 2010, we held our first cotillion, Sedgefield Cotillion. Now proudly in our third year of operation, Piedmont Cotillions has expanded to five cotillions for 2012: Sedgefield, Cary, Thomasville, Cardinal and Hillsborough (coming soon).
What is Your Company Like? Piedmont Cotillions offers five-week cotillion programs in spring and fall. Our program is designed to introduce young adults in the 5th to 8th grade to the importance of social graces. They learn table manners, phone and social-networking etiquette, how to ask a lady to dance, how to navigate a receiving line and how to properly converse in social situations. In addition, each session includes a lesson in ballroom dances such as the Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango and many other popular line dances. For our older students, we even feature theme nights like Country Western and Beach Night.
What is Your Favorite Thing About Jamestown? The small town atmosphere reminds me of where I grew up. I love the holiday parades, the quaint restaurants and most importantly, the neighbors and local businesses that give Jamestown its community feel.
