Cotillion – Dominica’s Traditional Dance

Cotillion

Cotillion is ballroom style dance that was done in the 1930’s. It derived its name from the French petticoat which reflects the changing of petticoats as the partners turn. The dance has since become extinct and many Dominicans are not aware of the sequence.
