The name cotillion appears to have been in use as a dance-name in France during the Baroque period: originally, it was designed for four couples in square formation. While participants exchanged partners was very usual to flirt with other dancers, and that allowed young people to interact under careful supervision. At the end of the dance, small gifts were distributed to give more joy and animation in a sort of finale.
