You Go Girl! (Maribel)
I do believe you have answered MANY MANY MANY of my questions! I love that you showed "MAMA_CUCA" what this site is about.
I am a Jewish mother that has bi-racial kids (half hispanic/half Jewish) and my oldest (of 3) daughter wants to have her party in July. (I can`t believe she is that old already... My baby). BUT, because of how I came up I had no idea what to do. We will be having a "spiritual" cerimony. It will have many of the traditions of an old fashion quinceanera, but it will be non-denominational. I`m doing this all on my own. Wish me luck (oh... P.S. If you have any other suggestions, please please please let me know.)
I do have a request.... Does anyone out there have a video of the dances they could send me?
