Spring Session Finale!

Our Cotillion classes at the Hilton Scotts Valley/Santa Cruz and the Best Western/Aptos Seacliff Inn recently enjoyed a formal 4-course dinner and dance class! The students put into practice the polite dinner conversations and good table manners they learned in the dining etiquette tutorials this spring! The students will demonstrate the Waltz, ChaCha, Swing and Electric Slide Line Dance at the upcoming final spring class: the Parent Show Party! This will be a special evening, where the students invite a parent/grandparent/guest to dance the Waltz and Swing!

Our Social Education Business Integrity

Our business identity represents integrity and respect. We teach girls that they deserve to be treated with respect, and encourage boys how to treat a lady with respect. Our goal is to build confidence in every student, to teach the values of self-respect, respect for others and social courtesies.  We are dedicated to our students and hope to be a positive influence in “Creating Young Adults.” Unfortunately, someone has stolen our logo (we have all rights reserved) and is misrepresenting our reputable business name, using it on the internet to scam women by ‘selling’  “Coast dresses” to them, taking their money, but not delivering on the promised transaction. Coast Stores is an actual dress store in London. We are saddened by this internet crime against us and these women, and have reported the other website (womendresses-uk.org or .net) to the FBI, FTC and the international ecommerce.gov, and to Coast Stores London.  We hope this matter is resolved quickly, that the victims will be reimbursed for fraud, the offense stop and offenders held accountable. Our good name will stand on its integrity.

Sincerely,
Mariann & Mark Eichhorn

Sign up for Cotillion at the Scotts Valley Hilton!

We had a wonderful introductory class last night at the Hilton! Polite young ladies and gentlemen practiced good manners while learning the Swing and Waltz! We are extending the early-sign-up-discount another week! Class size is limited, sign up now! Next class is January 23rd, when our dining etiquette focus will be a cup of soup, and we will continue learning classy ballroom dances!

Happy New Year!

The Middle School and High School Hilton Cotillion early sign-up discount will be extended another week! $10 off the 5-class tuition! Refer-a-friend and family $10 rebate, too! Build confidence in social skills and dining etiquette you will use the rest of your life!

Haven of Hope Etiquette Classes

Looking forward to another fun dining etiquette class with Haven of Hope! In our March dining etiquette class, we reviewed table manners and polite dinner conversation. The lovely young ladies were so gracious to welcome me into their home! After dinner, we moved the furniture aside in the living room, put on our white cotillion gloves, and danced the night away! Next month, we will enjoy our Tea Etiquette Class at Bloomsbury Tea Room! For more information about, or to make a donation to Haven of Hope Homes, please go to www.havenofhopehomes.org

We’re in Spring Cotillion Classes!

We have resumed Spring Cotillion classes at Seacliff Inn! The poised and polite young ladies and gentlemen are looking sharp dancing the Waltz, ChaCha, Swing, Tango, Rumba, Fox Trot and Electric Slide! They respectfully introduce themselves to the parent chaperones and dance partners during every class, with friendly eye contact, firm handshake, and clear speaking voice! Cotillion builds confidence and courtesy, and these students show it! As we review dining etiquette, cotillion students present perfect posture, good table manners, and offer each other kind complements! The parents will be so pleased at the Parent Party in March!
