SYDNEY,
I just can’t say enough about the thoroughness of your program. Thank you for being a wonderful example and setting a high bar for professionalism."
- Heather M.
I began teaching cotillion in 2016 and have since expanded my business to include multiple cities in both North Carolina and Virginia. I’m on a mission to get kids OFF the screens and IN to face-to-face interactions. I want to equip them with the confidence they need to tackle the many social situations that are coming their way in adulthood.
In 2022 I began coaching other women who have this same mission and want to bring cotillions to their own cities and towns.
When I'm not teaching etiquette classes or directing cotillions, I work with my family on our tobacco and soybean farms. My husband, Lee, and I have four kids: Bear, Penny, River, and Galley. We live in Edenton, North Carolina and, as you can imagine, our life is never boring- in the best possible way!

HOW MUCH is this going to cost me? Will the income be worth my time?
WHERE would I even host a cotillion?
How will I SPREAD THE WORD and market something like this?
What about LOGISTICS? How will I collect payments and manage students?
What exactly would I TEACH? Do I just start memorizing Emily Post books?
How do I deliver this to MIDDLE SCHOOLERS? It's been years since I've been that age.
