The National League of Junior Cotillions® prepares young people with the confidence, courtesy, and character they need for success in every area of life.
We are a national organization that trains and licenses directors to establish local programs across the country. We aim to build self-confidence, discipline, character, and etiquette in today’s youth. Through NLJC®, students learn to treat others with honor, dignity, and respect-skills that foster stronger relationships with family, friends, and future colleagues. Along the way, they also practice the art of ballroom dance, blending timeless traditions with lifelong social skills.
