Enchanted by the dance
Forty-six middle school students from the Richmond and Tidewater areas enjoy the art of the dance at the 7th Annual Richmond Renaissance Junior Cotillion sponsored by the James River Virginia Chapter of Jack & Jill of America on May 18. Theme for the cotillion held at First Baptist Church Iron Bridge in Chesterfield County: “The Enchanted Garden.” In the five months leading up to the cotillion, the youths participated in a range of activities promoting civic responsibility, social consciousness, self-discovery and community engagement. In addition to learning formal dances, they completed community service projects, had lessons on etiquette, financial literacy, goal-setting, professional dress and branding and team-building skills.
