Be a Good Dama
By: Jessica Bahena
So, you were picked to be someone’s dama! Congratulations!
You were chosen because you’re someone very special to
them! Now you have some dama duties, getting your dress,
practicing a dance, and showing up right? Right!
The QUINCEANERA has a lot going on right now, lots of
decisions to be made, lots of stress and maybe she’s a little
nervous, and she could use a good wing-woman by her side!
But besides doing the obvious, here are three ways you
can be a good dama and she will love you even more!
STAY POSITIVE: if she asks for
your advice or tells you about how stressed
she is about… be supportive, be a good
listener and help her keep a cool head
Be drama free: don’t be the dramatic
dama who doesn’t get along with the others
or is always saying something negative.
Remember it’s not about you this time.
Be someone she can count
on: If you say you’re going to do something,
do it, even if it seems like a minor thing,
keep your word and be responsible.

Don’t compete: Let someone
else be the one getting all of the
attention for once, this day is all about
her, and yes you’re important too,
but just try to blend in, just once!
DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN
to make her feel special, hold
her bouquet, fix her dress,
hold her lip gloss, and tell
her how beautiful she looks!
That’s your job.
