 One of the Quinceañera traditions representing a young girl's change from childhood to womanhood is the Changing of the Shoes, a ceremony that takes place after the Presentation of the Last Doll. To represent her childhood, the Quinceañera wears flat shoes until her Changing of the Shoes ceremony. To celebrate this ceremony, the Quinceañera's father or oldest brother will help her change her shoes from flats to high heels to symbolize her transformation into womanhood. She is now ready to dance the Quineañera Waltz as a young lady |
