Thanks. That's a great help!Nikki Simon said:The girl finds 15 girls and 15 boys who will dance 2 songs with each other - one slow song and one merengue. They may have lessons beforehand. On the day, all the girls get dressed together and have the same dresses, shoes, hairstyle. The boys go to the place where the girls are getting ready and find the girls and take them to the place where the celebration is to be held. The birthday girl walks down between them whilst they hold decorated ribbons over her. Then they all dance the slow song, followed by the merengue. The birthday girl doesn't dance these two songs. She sits on a highly decorated chair, watching. After that, her father goes to her and puts her new shoes on her (from him) and he asks her to dance. They dance a slow dance. After that, the party begins!!!
Hope that is of some help!
