Take a moment to breathe, and keep reading. We're confident that this information will help you in deciding whether to include a surprise dance.

It's not a tradition

Although most, if not all, Quinceañeras choose to do a surprise dance for their Quince, which is not a tradition. However, the waltz is a tradition that has been lived for generations.

You can choose only one song

Most girls opt for a mix of hip hop, bachata and pop songs, which can most of the time be done by hiring a DJ or playing music yourself on your phone. But forget about the typical mix and choose several songs from the same genre or a particular song.

Your court can be part of the dance, or you can do it alone

Let's say that you have been dancing professionally for years, so your Quinceañera is the ideal time to show your talent to your loved ones. Take a chance, don't worry about not making your court part of your surprise dance.

You should do something unexpected and new

There's a reason it's called a surprise dance! But some girls do choose their surprise dance according to their Quince theme, for example:

Quince theme:                                                      Surprise dance:

Cowboy Quinceañera                                           Quebradita

Quinceanera inspired by Princess Jasmine           Belly dance

Mexican theme of Quince                                     Mariachi

Pick a 'surprise dance' that you really like, whether it matches your theme or is just something you enjoy. It's all up to you!

It is not a requirement

Don't feel forced to do a surprise dance, don't worry if you're shy! This is just another addition to your Quince as part of the entertainment, but you don't have to dance if you don't want to.
