Quinceañeras on TV

Since the eighties, we’ve seen on TV a fun yet dramatic portrayal of what quinceañeras are like!

Although broadcast during different times in a decade, these quince girls share several things in common.  The puffy dresses, the emotion for such a special celebration, the craziness behind the planning and of course the drama are the common denominators.

Do you have anything in common with these TV Quinceañeras?

Quinceañera novela

This 80’s soap opera was considered the first of its kind, telling the story of two quinceañeras dealing with their coming-of-age celebration and their everyday life. Although quince related, this novela addressed controversial topics such as gangs and teen pregnancy. The main song and the parties evoked to a more traditional quinceañera, but the storyline was somewhat different. So daring!

 

The Wizards of Waverly Place

On the show’s quinceañera episode, Alex, played by Selena Gomez, switches places with her mom. Alex’s mom could not afford to have a quinceañera therefore she enthusiastically plans her daughter’s special day. Dresses and parties are not exactly Alex’s cup of tea so she trades places with her mom giving her the opportunity to celebrate the quinceañera she always wanted.  So sweet!

 

The Fosters

Wasn’t Mariana’s quinceañera dress the prettiest of all times? This episode has been called “the soapiest” ever. Filled with romanticism, possible betrayal, secrets and a fancy celebration it has almost every quince element.
