The female attendants in a quinceañera’s court are traditionally called damas.
Damas is the Spanish plural of dama, meaning ladies. They commonly form part of the celebrant’s court of honor and may wear coordinated formal outfits, participate in a choreographed entrance, and perform dances during the reception.
A court may also include chambelanes, the traditionally male attendants. The number and composition of the court are not fixed: some celebrations use both damas and chambelanes, while others have a smaller group or no court at all.
The role is ceremonial rather than legally defined. Families usually select close friends, siblings, or relatives, and modern celebrations may adapt the traditional gendered labels or use a mixed court.
