Damas is the Spanish term commonly used for the female attendants in a quinceañera court of honor.
A court of honor typically accompanies the quinceañera during formal entrances, photographs, and choreographed dances. The group may include young women called damas and young men called chambelanes. The size and composition depend on the family’s plans.
The word dama means “lady” in Spanish. It should not be confused with madrina, which usually means a female sponsor or godmother connected with the celebration. Terminology and roles can vary, so not every quinceañera includes a court or uses the same titles.
