When students arrive at cotillion, the first thing they are required to do is place their cell phone or other electronic device in a basket on the registration table. Cell phones are not permitted for use during the 90-minute session.  Face to face interaction among the students is instrumental in building a young person's confidence.  Through dancing with partners, they learn the important life skills of maintaining eye contact, starting conversation, and interacting socially with peers.​​
