Quinceanera Questions

What is a good dance for the father/daughter dance?

What is the difference between a baltz and a waltz?

My colors are gonna be navy blue and white, any ideas?

Im probably gonna have 14 damas and 14 chambelanes, should I invite their parents?

I know that there is the changing of the shoes, any other traditions?

My theme is sort of gonna be like pachuco/gangsta. The guyz are gonna wear zoot suits, and Im gonna provide them with the dark sunglasses that they can wear during the dance and reception. Any other ideas that I can do?

Hi, look, a good song for the father/daughter dance is Quinceanera by Los Dandys or de Nina Mujer by Julio Iglesias, sang or instrumental. The colors you want are nice. The amount of couples is a bit high. Remember that the more couples the more problem to learn the dances and to get together. If you want to avoid problems, have less couples, six is a good number. And yes, do Invite their parents. And please, whatever you do, don`t make the guys wear pachuco tuxs. They are not appropriate for a Quinceanera. I don`t know where people got the idea of wearing them, maybe is to keep in touch with their American roots. Have fun and God bless. Have more questions? write me: sacubayuca@yahoo.com
