“THE AMERICANIZATION OF QUINCEAÑERAS: OUT OF SYNC.” It’s not that any of the kids ranging in age 4-17 wanted to learn to dance — it’s that they’ve been asked to dance again and again until they get it just right by Lisandra Almendia’s mother. Every couple seems disinterested, but they are more distracted by repetition than boredom.
