Mis Quince Anos
Oct. 16
"Mis Quince Anos" hosted by MSC CAMAC is a reenactment of a traditional Quinceanera produced in Hispanic cultures. At this years program we included the traditional chambelan and dama dances, which were performed by MSC CAMAC members. We also welcomed the guest with delicious quesadillas as they learned about the details and explanations of the beautiful ceremony. The night finally ended with everybody on the dance floor having a great time with each other as the traditional quinceanera music continued. |
