A Quincenera is the
changing of a girl
turning into a young
lady. During mass, the
quinceneara gives
thanks to god for giving
her that opportunity.
After mass, the
quinceneara and her
court of honor go
somewhere of her
choice in her limo or
her partybus to enjoy
herself with her
friends.
After mass, they arrive to the
hall and begin the
ceremonies. One ceremony
would be the shoe change.
The shoe change is the
change of the shoe into heels
which signifies her changing
into a woman.
Another significamt
cermemony is the
crown ceremony. The
padrinos de corona
would be the ones to
place the crown on the
quinceneara.
After the
ceremonies,
would continue
the father-
daughter dance. It
signifies the first
dance as a young
woman.
After the father-
daughter dance,
the quinceneara
dances a waltz
and a surprise
dance with her
court of honor.
This picture shows
the quinceneara
and the court of
honor making a
toast celebrating
she turned 15.
After, her
dances, the
quinceneara
goes to cut the
cake to begin
to open her
presents
After the cake,
she opens her
regalo de
sorpresa, then
the rest of her
gifts.
After she opens all
her gifts, everyone
heads to the dance
floor and they
enjoy the rest of
the night!
