There are several parts in the whole of this event, starting with a Holy Mass in which your Court of Honor and parents accompany you. You do a prayer of dedication, renew your baptismal vows, and give an offering of fresh roses to the Virgin Mary/Guadeloupe, among the standard Catholic Mass. This means you are now a woman to God and your parish. Afterwards, there is a large reception with a DJ in a hall or other big space. Your Court of Honor traditionally consists of fourteen couples and then you and your Chambelane de Honor make fifteen, each couple representing a year in your life. Nowadays this is a hard task to get so many people, half of whom are unfamiliar with the custom, to commit to standing up, pay for their fancy attire, and attend all dance practices. The Damas, or ladies, all wear the same dress, usually a color complimenting the quinceanera's dress. The Chambelanes, or gentleman, rent tuxedos and wear ties or bow ties matching the damas' dresses. They practice the waltz, a presentation ceremony, and if desirable, another choreographed dance. Then we do the final show, usually with encore. There is also a father/daughter dance, and the changing of the shoes. You wear flat shoes until the party, when your father changes them to heels. Both of these symbolize that he accepts your transition to womanhood. You also give a porcelain doll to your younger sister, representing your last toy. The rest is all the fun.Porcelain doll-Another quinceañera tradition is the presentation of the doll to your younger sister. During your reception, you call for the attention of your guests and explain to them the tradition of the doll. You then present your younger sister with a porcelain doll. This symbolizes that you are now ready to move on to the next stage of your life-becoming a young lady. As you perform this, you are not only leaving the doll to your sister, you are also leaving her your childhood. Changing of the shoes-
After the presentation of the doll, you follow with the changing of the shoes. During the church ceremony, you wear flat shoes without a heel because you are still a child. At the reception, you once again call for the attention of your guests. At this time, your father changes your shoes from flats to heels. This symbolizes that your father accepts your change from a child to a young lady. Once you are wearing your heels, you are now recognized as a young lady.
First dance-You dance your first dance as a young lady with your father because he has always been the man in your life. The song you dance to is usually a slow song. The lyrics should have special meaning to the relationship you have with your father. After the dance with your father, he then hands you over to dance with your escort.
