* The female baseball players of ''Film/ALeagueOfTheirOwn'', before they ever go out on the road, spend several days in a charm school.

* ''Literature/AmericanGirl'':
** Felicity is sent to learn "gentlewoman" lessons from Miss Manderly. She laments that she can't go to school like boys to learn Latin and Greek, but then finds she has interest in the tea service ceremony and other aspects.
** Samantha's parlor time with Grandmary is intended to be the time in her day to practice her lessons in becoming a ProperLady. She even curtsies before sitting down, as [[EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy she's expected to]].

* The ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' short "How to Be a Gentleman" has Goofy undergoing these, with mixed (and hilarious) results. Like saying "My queer Dean, delighted to acquaint your maintenance" to the Queen of England (as his ''second'' attempt; "Heya, Liz" was right out), and trying to get into a "Country Club" by wearing overalls and slinging a giant wooden bat over his shoulder--"I'm country! And I got a club!"

* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInThePrincessAndThePauper'', Julian gives Erika lessons on how to properly conduct herself as princess in Anneliese's place with the musical number "To Be A Princess". Erika actually enjoys it, since she gets to experience the luxury of royal life after her poor upbringing, but she eventually begins feeling guilty for lying to the people around her even if it was for a good cause.

* Surprisingly, [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTophBeifong Toph Beifong]] from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' does this--she was born in Earth Kingdom High Society, so she does know how like a ProperLady (she simply chooses not to). She's able to help clean up Katara for a palace party hosted by the Earth King but she doesn't even attempt with Sokka and Aang. They're hopeless.
