The Quince Años celebration - also known as Fiesta Quinceañera, Quinces or Fiesta Rosa – is a very popular tradition is most Latin American countries. The Fiesta Quinceanera marks the right of passage from girlhood to young womanhood. Each country and/or community has a slight variation of the celebration, but it generally consists of a big party with the Quinceañera as the focus of the event. The transition from child to full-fledged member of society is sacred in many cultures, and depending on where you live, the celebrations can vary wildly.
For this special day, the girl wears a very elaborate dress, usually in a pastel color. Most parties also include a waltz, which the girl dances with her father, older brother or other male relative.
