How well does your child know the ETIQUETTE?

ETIQUETTE is not just about using a fork and a knife. ETIQUETTE is a proper way to carry yourself around other people, carry a conversation, have proper manners at the table and treat others.

SO, does your child know ETIQUETTE?
If you had to think for a moment, I would say, probably not.

And this is where I come in.
During this class, guests will be served a 3-course meal with a drink. I'll teach each guest how to set up the table, properly sit and what manners to use at the table, what utensils to use for each dish, how to pass food around the table and how to carry a conversation with others at the table.

During this experience, we will "travel" around the globe and learn various culture's etiquette and play international food trivia.
