The entire group of attendants in a traditional quinceañera court is called the corte de honor.
The Spanish term means “court of honor.” Its members typically accompany the quinceañera during the entrance, formal photographs, choreographed dances, and other ceremonial portions of the celebration. The court may include young women, young men, or a mixture, depending on the family’s preferences.
A corte de honor is not the same thing as the quinceañera’s family or sponsors. Some celebrations use a large court, while others have only a few attendants or no formal court at all. Modern events often adapt the tradition to suit the celebrant’s friends and community.
English-language descriptions sometimes call the group a quinceañera court. The Spanish name is useful because related roles have their own names, including damas for female attendants and chambelanes for male attendants.
