Perfectly Poised Women's Etiquette Course
Three-Hour Programme
WELCOME
Our Perfectly Poised Etiquette Course is a private three-hour women’s etiquette masterclass in London, designed for women who wish to develop greater confidence, poise and understanding of British social etiquette.
For those with busy lives, the course provides a focused introduction to the essential principles of British etiquette, without the commitment of a full-day programme.
Over three hours, we explore the practical skills and social conventions that help you feel prepared and assured when attending social occasions.
The course covers responding to invitations, interpreting dress codes, understanding the protocols surrounding British events, making a graceful entrance, engaging comfortably in conversation and conducting yourself with confidence.
Particular attention is given to the small details that can make a significant difference to how you feel and how you are perceived, from preparing for an event to meeting others, engaging in conversation and carrying yourself with poise throughout an occasion.
The aim is not simply to teach a set of rules, but to help you develop a natural understanding of British social etiquette so that you can approach different situations with greater ease, confidence and self assurance.

Recently, I attended Emma Dupont's the Perfectly Poised Etiquette Course and it was impressive. Not only she is sophisticated and knowledgeable but also classy and witty.
We learned so many valuable details which only professionals like her can give. I will take more of her courses in the future.
