But it is a very special number, especially in latino culture; the fifteenth birthday is when a girl "becomes a woman" and is "revealed" to the world.

And it was my friend's 15th birthday yesterday!

Since she was, of course, a quinceanera, she through a quince años, and I had the honor of being one of the attendants!

Being one of the attendants, I was told that I would be waltzing with one of the female attendants and the quinceanera, however, the attendant dances were taken out of the mix, and my only scheduled dance was with the quinceanera.

However, there was a lot of dancing that wasn't already determined who was dancing with who.

After about a quarter of the way through, I finally managed to bring up the courage to ask the female attendant that I was going to dance with to dance.

It was pretty awkward since neither of us had really danced before,* but it was quite a fun experience* ^^
