Cotillion Class Completed!
The last class was Sunday March 6th and we did an actual Mitzvah style party.
This consists or games and contests and then a Grand Entrance, Hora, Dancing, more Games, more Dancing, and food.
It was a good time and the kids seemed to get a lot out of it.
We were back at it last night for the 2nd to last Cotillion Class for the year.
Tonight we focused on sharing with the kids different ways to look at games and contests at their event and how one style game can translate into several others using the same equipment, props, or theme.
One basic example is how you can use Hula Hoops to do 4 different games.
Our goals is to better prepare the kids for when it is time to plan their Bar/Bat Mitzvah. In our experience the kids want a good time but never really get specific as to what that means to them often leaving the entertainers t come up with a plan that doesn’t always capture what the kids want.
We take time to instruct them on their options based on getting to know them and their personalities. It makes for a more personal experience when we do their party.
It was a great night and everyone had a lot of fun.
