The mission of Cotillion Austin-Style is to provide training in basic etiquette, communication skills, and social dance to boys and girls in the 10-13 age range. With our 40+ years of experience in dance education and a continuing emphasis on appropriate behavior and good manners, the Shirley McPhail School of Dance is a natural fit for a Cotillion program.

"Cotillion" originally meant a specific French dance, but in the U.S. it has come to mean a course of etiquette training including social dance. SMSD Cotillion students learn how to act and to treat others with honor, dignity and respect, resulting in better relationships with family, friends and business associates later in life.
