Selecting your damita: It’s typical to pick a girl between 5 and 10 years old, usually a cousin or sibling. I recommend that she be no older than 10 years old. You don’t have to be related to her — she could be the daughter of a close friend or neighbor. What matters most is that she is a girl whom you want to have a special bond with forever. You’re going to become a role model to her – your quince will shape the dreams she has for her own. You will be spending a lot of time with her, during rehearsals and when shopping, and you can take the time to explain to her the importance of the tradition.
