5 Most Important Things to Practice
The 5 Most Important Things to Practice Before Your Quinceañera Day!
Your quinceañera is coming up, and let’s be real—it’s going to be one of the most magical days of your life! But magic doesn’t happen without a little prep work. Practicing key moments before the big day ensures you wow your guests and feel like the superstar you are. So grab your notebook, your bestie, and your comadre, because we’re about to dive into the top five things you must practice for a flawless quinceañera!
1. The Waltz and Surprise Dance
Let’s start with the show-stoppers: the dances. The waltz sets the tone for the evening, and the surprise dance is where everyone loses their minds (in the best way possible). Practice until the moves feel natural. Think about this: What will you do if someone forgets a step? Have a backup plan, like a big smile and extra twirl. Pro tip: Record yourselves during practice to see what looks amazing and what might need a tweak. You’re not just practicing the dance—you’re creating memories.
2. The Cheers Speech
A heartfelt speech? Yes, you’ve got this! Whether it’s you, your parents, or even your padrinos, someone will be on the mic. Let’s avoid the “deer-in-the-headlights” moment, shall we? Write it down. Yes, it’s okay to bring notes! Practicing will help calm the nerves and give you a chance to add personal touches. Ask yourself: What do I want my family and friends to feel when they hear this? Gratitude, love, and maybe even some laughs
3. The Changing of the Shoes AND Crown
Here’s where it can get...awkward. We’ve all seen it: the madrina fumbling with the straps of the heels or the boots refusing to come off. Practice this moment with the person in charge of the change. Time it, adjust it, perfect it. Bonus tip: Make sure the heels fit properly beforehand. Imagine yourself seated in the spotlight—how smoothly do you want this to go? And just like the heels, the crown is also as important to practice. Again and again I keep seeing the same mistake being done and the crown not put on properly. Then the quince is holding on to the crown the rest of the night with he hand on her head….all night! Have your madrina practice putting on the crown right so you’re not struggling on the dance floor.
4. Picture Posing Like a Pro
Your quince photos will live forever—no pressure. Start practicing your poses now! Get your angles, find your best smile, and figure out how to work that dress like the star you are. Practice with your chambelanes, your court, and even your family members (even if they’re more awkward than you). Remember: It’s okay to direct people during the day—this is your quinceañera. What’s your go-to pose going to be? A sweet smile or a fierce look?
5. Your Grand Entrance
This is the moment. The doors open, all eyes are on you, and your song starts playing. How are you walking in? Will there be spins? Will you wave? Practice your entrance until it feels effortless. Bonus points for testing it out in your dress. Think about this: What vibe do you want to give off as you walk in? Graceful? Confident? A little bit of both? Let your personality shine!
