Mr. Benjamin's Cotillion

Established in 1954, Mr. Benjamin's San Diego Junior Cotillion is San Diego's oldest and most respected class for instruction in social amenities, etiquette and ballroom dancing. Classes are taught by Peter Benjamin, son of founder Donald Benjamin. Peter began instructing classes in 1983 and for the past 28 years has successfully instructed thousands of students in the finer points of social amenities and ballroom dancing. Classes begin in September and end in March, and are available in most areas of San Diego as well as Coronado.

This is the 59th year that they have offered this program to sixth grade students. A young person at this age is often very shy in social situations. Mr. Benjamin's Junior Cotillion provides the tools and experiences to enable your child to act with poise, confidence and thoughtfulness for one another. It is the philosophy of each class that learning to dance is incidental. The primary purpose is to afford each student an opportunity to learn to mature socially, under qualified supervision, with his or her peers.
