Our Last Dance
After many wonderful years of dancing together, Burgess Cotillion held its final dance at The Grand in Long Beach in April 2026.
While Burgess Cotillion has concluded, students may continue their cotillion education with Robert Burgess at Westridge Cotillion in La Habra.

A Lifetime of Dancing
For more than half a century, Bobby Burgess shared his love of ballroom dancing with young people through Burgess Cotillion. Drawing from his extraordinary career as an original Mouseketeer and star of The Lawrence Welk Show, Bobby inspired generations of students to discover the joy of dance while learning confidence, courtesy, respect, and lasting friendships.
Every season was made possible by dedicated parents, volunteers, instructors, and families who believed in the importance of teaching timeless values through dance. To each of you, thank you for making Burgess Cotillion such a special part of our lives.
Remembering Burgess Cotillion
As we look back on the wonderful memories created over the years, we celebrate the students who filled the ballroom with laughter, the friendships that were formed, and the traditions that will continue to live on through every life that Burgess Cotillion touched.
Although our Long Beach program has concluded, the tradition continues through Westridge Cotillion, directed by Robert Burgess.
