The Chaplin Cotillions | Texas Tradition for Over 50 Years

"Preparing children for success through education
in social skills, etiquette, table manners and ballroom dance."

For over 50 years, the Chaplin Cotillions have had the honor of helping parents in the state of Texas prepare their children for success through education in social skills, etiquette, table manners and ballroom dance.

Over the years, our founder, Dick Chaplin has been responsible for turning out some of the most successful ladies and gentlemen in the United States. Children of United States presidents, award winning singers, movie stars and professional golfers have all gained confidence, dignity and respect for themselves and others through the Chaplin cotillion program.

Through movies such as "Take the Lead" and television shows like "Dancing with the Stars", and "So, You Think You Can Dance", Ballroom Dance has made a resurgence recently, making partner dancing more popular than ever.

Through the instruction of the Fox Trot, Waltz, Swing, Country and Western, and Latin dancing, your child will be prepared for any social event, whether it is prom, wedding, bar/bat mitzvah or debutant ball.

Our instructors are professional dancers who are constantly continuing to strengthen their own skills to provide students with the finest instruction possible.

Our program emphasizes confidence by leading students through a series of structured, upbeat lessons stressing positive reinforcement and encouragement to give young ladies and gentlemen the ability to help them in any situation be successful in life and maximize their future.

In our higher grade classes, the End of Season Party is capped off by a Candlelight Dinner Dance, which features table etiquette instruction while enjoying dinner and dancing.
