Tristan is a Senior this year at Harding Fine Arts Academy.

I started Cotillion in my ninth grade year of my own volition. My mother asked me if I wanted to go, and after hearing that I would learn how to ballroom dance, I jumped for it. I had known about the program for few years beforehand because one of my friends participated in middle school. He described it as “pretty fun”. I found that to be an understatement. I loved going to Cotillion, and it got more interesting with every year.

Coming out of Cotillion, I find that I have more confidence in social situations. I impress others with my knowledge of etiquette, and have gained new respect from both my peers and adults that are influential in my life. I am very grateful to have been able to take part in the program, and I have, and will, urge others to try it out.
