What songs are appropriate at your Quinceañera?
JoyfulEventsStore.com has a list of the songs they recommend. I personally have not seen some of those songs used. The traditional songs are there such as:
- Quinceañera by Thalia
- De Nina a Mujer - Julio Iglesias
- Es Mi Nina Bonita - Tomas De San Julia
- El Danubio Azul
- Tiempo de Vals - Chayanne
And there is one that is also well known which is “Quinceañera” By Los Yonics. These, like I said, are the traditional songs used for the formal part of the presentation.
Now you can use that list to get “creative” and spice things up in your Quinceañera. For example, you can use Gloria Estefan’s “Conga” and have your court of honor dance their way in as they are being presented or if your family and guests are more Tejano oriented, you can use “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang. This would cause your guests to be very enthusiastic, clapping, and dancing as the Court of Honor’s is being presented. That would be something different, fun, and memorable.
So get Creative and only you know how you want your Quinceañera to turn out. There is no set way in how you can do your presentation and introduction. Go to a few Quinceañeras, see how they do it, and use that as a guide to do yours. That is, by far, the absolute best way to get it done correctly
Please be sure to check out my Quinceanera Section for your correct DJ Packages
As far as the unformal dances, such as a Cumbia, Merengue, Bachata, Reggaeton, and any other Genre that is used to dance. There is no limit there. Use songs that you like and that your Court of Honor can dance to.
Some Examples are:
- Shakira - La Tortura
- Shakira - Hips Don’t Lie
- Cumbia Sobre el Rio - Celso Piña
- Cumbia Sampuesana - Aniceto Molina
- Cumbia Campanera (Cienaguera) - Aniceto Molina
- Choppa Style - Cumbia Remix
- Rompe - Daddy Yankee
- Gasolina - Daddy Yankee
- Ella y Yo - Aventura Ft. Don Omar
- Guallando - Fulanito
- Suavemente - Elvis Crespo
- Solo por un beso - Aventura
You have options when it comes to your song selection. Some Quinceañera celebrations that I have been used as little as 3 Songs and Some have used up to 9 Songs. The Ideal would be:
- Introduction of the Court of Honor
- Introduction of the Quinceanera
- Father Daughter Dance
- Waltz with Escort of Honor
- Special dance or Special Dances (Cumbia, Merengue, Bachata, Reggaeton, or Various Songs Mixed together)
This should get all the fire power you need to start planning the songs for your Quinceañera. Thank you for reading this and I hope it helps you get organized and that your event is as enjoyable as you plan it.

You know I do not like all this daddy yankee stuff he dos not know how to sing and he does not talk about any thing positive like God wich is indeed more important than dumb gasolina!

Surprise dances are crappy all they do is dissapoint me. Now days girls only think about impressing guys by doing all this nasty dancing and showing their bodies off. I am a fourteen years old and I am not interested in any of this crap I am only interested in pleasing God by doing what he wants me to do!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kiara,
I’m glad you are so strong on your religion and I would say that you are correct on that. A lot of the dances are too sexual for the young girls. But most parents allow kids to get their way and that is the result.
