Does The Assembly need to be disambiguated, as it currently points to a synth pop band? (presumably one that doesn't perform at cotillions) ZiggBold text[http://www.example.com link title]urat 07:09, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] opening paragraph
what is a "representative family"? I've never heard of the phrase in the UK, is it common in the USA? Markb 11:26, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- The phrase "representative family" is used on the National Debutante Ball and Cotillion website http://www.thecotillion.org/ and may be particular to Washington DC "official" society. Anyone else have a clue? PKM 19:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, now tell me what the heck "Cotillion" means! Markb 08:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- A cotillion was originally a dance of the late 18th century, typically the last dance at an assembly or ball. The term now also has the US meaning of any social event with an emphasis on ballroom dancing and traditional formal etiquette.
-
- A cotllion or "junior cotillion" may also be an organization which teaches young people the dances and behaviors they need to know to behave "properly" at a formal ball, through a series of dances and etiquette classes (table manners, giving and wearing corsages, managing a long skirt when getting in and out of a car, whatever). I believe the term "cotillion" is more common for a debutante ball in the South and East.
- See http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/textc/Cotillion.html (definitions), http://www.colonialmusic.org/Resource/howtoCOT.htm (the dance type), http://www.californiajuniorcotillion.com/ (etiquette training). PKM 18:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
