Choosing a song can be fun since you\u2019ll want to keep in mind the theme of your Quinceanera and also the number of dancers in the group and their abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Group Waltzes usually have between eight and twenty dancers although the most common number is twenty dancers; ten gentlemen and ten ladies. This dance presents best if all the dancers involved attend instruction in an appropriate hall or dance studio location with proper sound capabilities.<br \/>\nSince this is really the big showcase dance most of the time and effort of the dancers is put into this dance. Costumes should allow for movement both forwards and back and arms should be able to be lifted above the head. Headpieces should be secured firmly and ladies shoe heels should be low enough to accommodate the speed of the waltz being used.<br \/>\nA combination of ballroom dancing waltz and foxtrot moves, American civil war and contra dancing steps and renaissance dancing figures showcase the dancers effectively in formations and elegant couples\u2019 displays. Usually this dance is between 3-6 minutes and incorporates a feeling of being showcased for the young lady celebrating her Quinceanera.<\/p>\n<p>Sample songs include:<br \/>\n\u2022 Sleeping Beauty Waltz<br \/>\n\u2022 Cinderella Waltz<br \/>\n\u2022 Blue Danube<br \/>\n\u2022 Tales From The Vienna Woods<br \/>\n\u2022 Voices Of Spring<br \/>\n\u2022 Wine, Women, Song<br \/>\n\u2022 Artist\u2019s Life<br \/>\n\u2022 Weiner Blut<br \/>\n\u2022 Princess Waltz<br \/>\n\u2022 Emperor\u2019s Waltz<\/p>\n<p><strong>FATHER\/DAUGHTER DANCE<\/strong><br \/>\nIn this dance the young lady and her father dance a waltz choreographed to their special song.<\/p>\n<p>Songs such as the ones listed below are quite popular right now:<br \/>\n\u2022 Sunrise Sunset from Fiddler On The Roof Soundtrack<br \/>\n\u2022 Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle<br \/>\n\u2022 Run for the Roses by Dan Fogelberg<br \/>\n\u2022 Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart<br \/>\n\u2022 What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong<br \/>\n\u2022 Unforgettable by Natalie\/Nat King Cole<br \/>\n\u2022 Hero by Mariah Carey<br \/>\n\u2022 Lullaby by The Cure<br \/>\n\u2022 Isn&#8217;t She Lovely by Stevie Wonder<br \/>\n\u2022 My Father&#8217;s Eyes by Amy Grant<br \/>\n\u2022 Thank Heaven for Little Girls from Gigi Soundtrack<br \/>\n\u2022 Teach Your Children Well by Crosby, Stills, Nash<br \/>\n\u2022 Through The Years by Kenny Rogers<br \/>\n\u2022 You&#8217;re My Hero by Teresa James<br \/>\n\u2022 My Girl by The Temptations<br \/>\n\u2022 Landslide by Fleetwood Mac<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most Father\/Daughter<\/strong><br \/>\nThey can incorporate sweet entrances with cuddles, twirls and send-outs, 3-7 dance steps; both stationary and traveling on the floor, and a dip or twirl to lean with bow and curtsey for the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong> \u201cFUN\u201d GROUP DANCE<\/strong><br \/>\nThis dance can be a sassy salsa or combination of Latin dances like merengue, rumba, and cha cha, or an up-beat swing or even a group tango in historical costuming with props. Many young ladies choose to have this dance highly choreographed while others want the dance to feel improvised and want to just \u201clearn the moves\u201d so they can get out and dance!
