Rockland School of Ballet
Thank. you for your interest in Rockland School of Ballet.
We are currently not taking new students.
Our philosophy is that the fundamentals of good manners and good character have not changed. These qualities enable men and women to face whatever the future may bring with strength, courage and integrity.
Mind Your Manners: Basic Manners
This class is designed to expose students to the 'Who, What, Where, Why and How' of manners. Emphasis is placed on speaking, greetings and introductions. The class will cover behavior in the home, and what is expected when in public. Students will receive instruction on gift giving as well as exposure to the different types of correspondence, including actual letter writing.
Mind Your Manners includes a two week focus on table manners and specific behavior for special events. Upon completion of this nine week class, there is a graduation reception for all participants of the EMI Etiquette School.
Appropriate dress should be followed at all times: dress clothes - no blue jeans or t-shirts. Students must have clean hands and combed, neat hair.
Level I
Mind Your Manners: Basic Maners
Level II
This class is designed to build upon Level I. At this level a more formal focus on manners outside of the home and more advanced table manners will be explored. The older students will be exposed to similar material covered in the younger courses with the addition of learning the proper way of interacting in social settings; one on one, getting together in groups, at school dances, saying 'NO' and not hurting someones feelings, and what girls should be able to expect from boys.
Upon completion of the nine week course there will be a graduation reception for all participants of Miss Emily's Etiquette classes.

Diamonds in the Rough: Etiquette
Level I
This nine week class covers the 'do's and don'ts' and the 'why' behind all of our socially acceptable customs. In addition to covering all the basics of the Mind Your Manners Level I class, we look at how to present oneself, how to properly make all types of introductions, and the proper way to keep relationships. This class looks at social media and how these applications can negatively or positively impact our lives. The class enjoys an extensive table manner review and explores skills such as proper phone etiquette, proper correspondence etiquette, gift giving and entertaining.
The class is designed to help students feel confident, poised and comfortable as they enter the world.
