For the past 20+ years, Cynthia has inspired thousands of middle schoolers in the Bay Area. Manners in Motion® brings a whole new level of fun, glamour, and excitement to outdated Cotillion instruction. The program features an innovative teaching technique developed by Cynthia Glinka.
Sessions are taught in a supportive, non-competitive environment that integrates social group awareness with a sense of style, grace, and fun.
SOCIAL PARTNER DANCING takes an entertaining and inspiring approach with emphasis on appropriate boundaries of touch and mutual respect. Students learn how to ask for and accept a dance, escort a partner to-and-from the dance floor, and how to identify different musical tempos.
ETIQUETTE EVENING is an informative and fun way to give your child confidence and poise.
A formal 3-course meal and refreshments will be served. The Do’s and Don’ts of Dining and Discourse explores the art of table manners and the basics of social interaction. From when to turn-off their cell phones to knowing which water glass is theirs.
These lessons can be applied to everyday life, from learning to keep one’s elbows off the table to writing a thoughtful thank you note.
RED CARPET GALA serves a delicious buffet dinner, refreshments and dancing to a live band.
Family members are invited the last 1/2 hour to join in the fun.
Customized Programs and Parties!
Manners in Motion® programs can be tailored to the needs of your community.
