Quince Años XV Dance

Moving

Hello future quinceaneras,

Unfortunately, due to increasing freeway traffic congestion and fuel costs, I am currently only able to teach quinceaneras in Santa Ana. I feel sad to turn down quinceaneras in other cities, but I look forward to working exclusively in Santa Ana in the near future.

Kind Regards,

Palmyra Perez

Wow! You looked stunning in your quince dress!

Congratulations Samantha, your quinceañera on July 24th in Covina was epic.

It was a pleasure choreographing and teaching your dance!

Nicole’s quinceanera was in a beautiful hall in Anaheim on July 10, 2010.

There must’ve been over 150 people there.

Thanks to you and your family for allowing me to be apart of it.

Once Upon a Quinceanera

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:11:34 +0000

I just finished a good read, Once Upon a Quinceanera, by Julia Alvarez.

In the book, Alvarez, who was raised in the Dominican Republic, travels to four cities, Miami, San Antonio, Los Angeles and Lawrence (Massachusetts) to attend four quinceaneras.

She documents her experiences at those “quinces” and delves into their history. There are so many theories that it leaves my head spinning. Some experts say quinceaneras have French roots or Spanish or Aztec or Mayan or Mexican or a mixture of them all! Whew!

Did you know that 400,000 Latinas turn 15 in America every year?

Why don’t boys have quinceaneras? As you know, in Jewish culture, boys have bar mitzvahs when they turn 13. And, girls have bat mitzvahs when they turn 12. So, in Jewish culture they both receive a “rite of passage” ceremony, whereas in Hispanic and American (Sweet Sixteen) culture the boys get left out.

Anyways, I’m still halfway through reading it. If you want to impress you parents, make sure to read this!

Maria’s quinceanera involved a total of seven couples! We spent several months rehearsing it and June 13th, 2010 was the big day!

Her quince dance performance went off without a major hitch. It was a night to remember!

Congratulations Maria, you looked stunning in your blue dress. And, you have a wonderful family and fun friends.

Have a great summer!

Business is Heating Up!

The brief heat wave that swept through Los Angeles got my very excited for the quinceañeras I’ll be a part of this spring and summer.

In addition to the the rising temperatures outside, business has been heating up in here. Over the weekend, I just signed onto a new quinceañeras.

I look forward to working with these wonderful families and group of friends down in the Carson, Glendora and Los Angeles area.
