Jon D. Williams Cotillions was founded in 1949 by Jon and Vivian Williams and has been teaching social skills and dance education for over sixty years.
==History of Jon and Vivian Williams==
A native of Greenwich, Connecticut, Vivian learned ballroom dancing and etiquette at the Miss Blasé Cotillion at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. She later débuted at the Hotel Pierre and attended the Arthur Murray dance school in Manhattan.
In 1932, Jon Williams II began his training with Arthur Murray. His first dancing partner was Jimmy Stewart’s wife, Gloria Hatrick McLean, however, he was informed that she was too tall for him and Murray advised him to begin working with a young blonde débutante named Vivian. Thus began the career of Jon and Vivian Williams as Arthur Murray's number one instructional team, performing in the top hotels from New York to California. The dance partners later became partners in life and were married.
After World War II, Jon was contacted by Fred Astaire and offered the position of setting up the first Fred Astaire Dance Studio across the country. Williams jumped at the opportunity. During this period, Astaire was also looking for dance partners to develop new routines so he asked Vivian to audition. Her first appearance at the Park Avenue studio was vintage 1940’s Hollywood. Astaire and Vivian created several new dance steps, including the “Swing Trot,” which was taught all over the country.
