In a world where kindness, courtesy and respect are often overlooked, JDW Cotillions, a division of JDW Social Education Programs is recognized nationally as an authority in educating young people in the art of social skills, and building social intelligence. Social dance is incorporated into our programs and used as a highly effective method to teach physical respect, develop confidence, establish teamwork and cooperation, reinforce non-verbal and verbal communication, and to teach students how to appropriately and comfortably interact with each other in a structured and healthy environment. In today’s competitive society, those with well-developed social and interpersonal skills have a tangible advantage in virtually every aspect of their lives!

Social Skills are essential to learn to be successful in life. From college interviews, to professionalism and friendships, learning social skills helps build confidence and satisfaction.
Social and Character building enforces confidence, we teach how to successfully build and sustain positive relationships, as well as how to navigate non-verbal, verbal & hi-tech means of communication.
We encourage students to recognize that their conduct is a reflection of their character and education, and will affect future opportunities.
Meet Ms. Tara Darby Rasheta, one of our certified, professional, social skills instructors who teaches not only children but professional adults and organizations.

"Thank you for this outstanding program and opportunity. My child says it changed his life, and we agree. He gained so much confidence and maturity."
- Cotillion Parent
"My son didn't know anyone when I signed him up, so he was hesitant about attending. After the first class he was fine with not being with friends and said he actually liked it much more than he had expected."
- Cotillion Parent
"My daughter was not sure how she would like this program when she started - by the end, she loved it! She enthusiastically went to every session. I realize that she was a bit shy in the class, but she truly absorbed everything she learned, and we would review it in the car after each session!"

"My son loved his first Cotillion experience and wants to return! This shows me he had fun in addition to all of the great learning that came along with it. He has 2 younger brothers who are now begging to go! I am so happy it was a good experience. Thank you! "

"Our daughter grew more confident as the season progressed. It was such a pleasure to watch her grow. We will absolutely participate again! I am so impressed with this program."
- Cotillion Parent
"Our son was very hesitant about going after we told him we signed him up. After the very first night, I picked up my son and his best friend and they were giddy!!! Giggling and laughing in the car and telling me all about how much fun they had and what they had learned. I am SO happy we signed him up and will continue to do so next year as well. Very valuable, and the instructor obviously make it very fun!"

"These skills are so important, and not necessarily taught at school or home. I know our kids get good table manner instruction and communication practice at home, but your program is the only place where the other skills (dance, first impressions, social skills, and character) are defined, demonstrated, and explicitly taught in such a fun and accessible way."
- Cotillion Parent
"Excellent instruction made this a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We will be back next year."
- Cotillion Parent
"I really liked the nice lady who ran the program and held the microphone each day. She truly had a talent with these kids and they seemed to listen and respond to her well. Our daughter and the other students have added to their skill set and other manners have been reinforced. I think the entire program this year was valuable."
