Junior Cotillion is intended to create a positive environment for everyone involved.  Please review this information with your child.  After discussing this information, both the Junior Cotillion member and parent signatures are required.  

GIRLS:   Dress is ALWAYS semi-formal, regardless of theme.  No jeans are allowed.  Girls are required to wear outfits that are age appropriate (no low cleavage showing, no high slit dresses and appropriate length).  Shoes are to be worn during the entire dance, so make sure they are comfortable for dancing.  If wearing high-heeled shoes, it is encouraged to bring a pair of flats to change into if needed.  NO FLIP-FLOPS OR TENNIS SHOES OF ANY KIND! 

BOYS:  Dress is ALWAYS semi-formal, regardless of theme.  Boys are required to wear dress pants (no jeans) and a long or short-sleeved collared shirt that must remain tucked in at all times.  Neckties or bow ties are to be worn at all times.  Please wear socks and dress shoes.  Please, no worn-out athletic shoes.  Denim, wide leg or baggy pants are neither appropriate nor permitted.  Sport coats and suit jackets are acceptable, but not required.

​

CELL PHONE POLICY: All participants will be asked to leave their cell phones with their parent/guardian while they are attending the Cotillion dance.  We understand this policy might make some participants and their parents uncomfortable, therefore we will concede to allow participants to bring a cell phone to the dance as long as the phone is not out and not used during the 7:00-10:00 time period.  Cell phones should remain in a purse or pocket at all times during the dance.  If this cell phone policy is not followed, the phone will be taken away from the participant and returned to the parents only upon completion of the dance.  It is the intention of the Las Cruces Junior Cotillion Board to emphasize appropriate social interaction, in a structured environment, among participants.  

Participation is a MUST!  Once participants are checked in, they must stay in the ballroom. We want everyone to have a good time and expect all participants to behave as young adults.  Horseplay, disrespectful or inappropriate behavior towards any other participant, chaperone, DJ, staff of the venue, or roaming outside the designated Cotillion area will not be tolerated.  If there is an incident a Board Member will call parents to request the child be picked up and the child may not be invited back for future dances.  No refunds will be given!
