2. Choose the right spot. The lift should be performed in a clear space with no obstructions. Make sure there is enough room for you and the girl to move freely.
3. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees slightly and grip the girl's hands with your own.
4. Lift the girl up until she is at about waist level. Keep your arms straight and your back straight.
5. Slowly lower the girl back down. Be sure to keep her steady as you do so.
6. Repeat the lift as needed. The quinceanera waltz typically consists of several lifts, so be prepared to lift the girl multiple times.
Tips for lifting a girl for a quinceanera waltz:
- Use your legs, not your back, to lift the girl.
- Keep your arms straight and your elbows locked.
- Do not lift the girl higher than waist level.
- Lower the girl slowly and steadily.
- Be sure to keep the girl steady as you lift and lower her.
- Practice the lift several times in advance to ensure you have the proper technique and strength.
