We are presenting Ballroom Dancing and Social Etiquette for middle school aged children.
Our instructors Ken Shiry and Teresa Shiry have been teaching Cotillion classes in Southern California for over 25 years. Ken is a musically gifted group leader who relates easily to children of all ages and loves to teach dancing. Teresa is a National Ballroom Dance Champion and World Show Dance Finalist with a gentle approach that always inspires confidence and a smile.
We offer a Junior class (6th grade only) and a Senior class (combined 7th & 8th grade) - Enrollment in each class is strictly limited to 50 couples.
Beginning in October, there are a total of 6 monthly classes. Regular classes are held on the 2nd Friday of each month at the Westchester Elks Lodge, 8025 W. Manchester Blvd, Playa Del Rey, CA 90293. In November, we present a condensed Table Manners lesson. In January, we feature a 50's Sock Hop costume party. The season wraps up in March with our Gold Cup Ball. Students can perform LIVE with our house band or show off their dance moves to win trophies and bragging rights. Parents are invited to join the festivities with the Father/Daughter - Mother/Son Waltz contest and a chance to win great door prizes.
Tuition for the season is $225 per student for all 6 events - Parent/Adult guests have the option to attend the Gold Cup Ball (additional $20 per person).
Our program is open to all middle school aged children in the community. We encourage every child to invite a friend to join and share in the Westchester Playa Del Rey Cotillion experience. The basic manners, social skills, dancing expertise, and personal confidence developed through our program will stay with them for a lifetime.
Sincerely,
Ken Shiry & Teresa Shiry - LQ Dance Co.
