The Junior Assembly Cotillion season includes seven dances beginning in early September and concluding with our Holly Ball dance in early December.

We enroll students from public, private and parochial schools all over the Richmond metropolitan area. No middle school group is ever separated. The exception to this is Moody, Wilder and Tuckahoe Middle IB (if not home-based middle school); those students attend cotillion with their home-based middle school.  We are very proud of the diversity of our cotillion and try to include as many children as possible.

We reach families through parent representatives within schools but not from within the school administration itself. Participation is by invitation so we can ensure a close to equal number of boys and girls at each dance. If you are interested in involving your child or a group of students from your child’s school or sports team with Junior Assembly Cotillion, please contact info@juniorassemblycotillion.com.

A fun-filled experience that will last a lifetime!

“I appreciate all the manners, chivalry, and traditions you all reinforced. They have helped me make valuable connections in my social network, and I’m pleased to share that my nickname on the road is ‘Mr. Thank You Note’ because at the end of every tour I do my best to write a thank you note to each of my fellow crew members. As you all would say, ‘a handwritten thank you note goes a long way’ and I believe it really does as well.  Thank you for everything besides just the dances that helped shape us into proper gentlemen and ladies.  It’s much appreciated!”  ~ James I.

“Thank you so much for everything! Cotillion has given me the chance to flourish, and it‘s served as a pathway for me to realize who I am. I‘m grateful for you taking the chance and giving me the Junior Assistant position, despite others in the program who may have had more experience. The program will always have a special place in my heart.”  ~ Kenny A.
