Once dinner is finished, there is usually dancing for all guests. Guests are not expected to give gifts to the debutante. Parents or grandparents of the debutante may wish to present their young lady with a keepsake gift, such as a strand of pearls, diamond-stud earrings, or an engraved piece of jewelry—it should be a classic gift that the debutante may wear throughout her life and that commemorates this special event.

The most traditional of Filipino cotillion dances is the Grand Cotillion Dance, an elaborate waltz that is danced by the debutante, nine female friends and nine male friends.
To be part of the cotillion court is an honor and may be extended to siblings and friends. Book the event location of your choice, and decide the color palate for your event. If you opt for a short dress instead of a gown, it needs to be on the dressier end of short dresses.
