Choose a song from the album of one of the most influential Latinos (Bruno Mars’ real name is Peter Gene Hernandez) as inspiration for your Quince dance. Growing up in a family full of musicians, Bruno soon realized he had the talent to write songs that were not only special but captivated the audience due to the relatable feelings and situations he talked about.
An ideal song for making an entrance at your Quince is “Just the Way You Are”, because it is about a woman’s qualities and her own acceptance.

As Bruno says, “the doo-wops are for the ladies and the hooligans for the guys”.
