The quinceañera party is very popular in many Latin American countries. It is similar to Sweet Sixteen in the United States. Many times there is a religious ceremony and a feast with a banquet. At the party they make a toast in honor of the quinceañera and afterwards everyone dances a waltz. The girl who celebrates her birthday is also called the quinceañera. In Peru (and other countries) the quinceañera has fourteen or fifteen bridesmaids: one for each year she has. There is no special banquet menu, but in Peru it is common to eat typical food of the country, dance and listen to traditional music. In Puerto Rico, the celebration is called the quinceañero. Girls often have the big party on their sixteenth birthday (influenced by Sweet Sixteen) and not on their fifteenth birthday. At the banquet of a quinceañera from Puerto Rico, it is normal to eat typical food of the country, such as rice with chicken. They all dance and listen to Caribbean music: salsa, merengue, reggaeton and Cuban hip-hop.
