In the quinceañera tradition, what does the court of honor usually accompany?

In the quinceañera tradition, the court of honor usually accompanies the quinceañera.

The court is a group of attendants who may participate in the formal entrance, photographs, dances, and other reception activities. Depending on the family and region, it can include young women called damas, young men called chambelanes, or a mixed group of friends and relatives.

The court is not identical in every celebration. Some quinceañeras have a large court, some have only a few attendants, and some do not use one. Clothing may be coordinated, but the style and number of attendants are chosen by the family.

Because court members often appear during the formal waltz, they are sometimes mistaken for a wedding party. Their role is ceremonial and social rather than legally defined. The quinceañera remains the central celebrant, while the court helps mark the importance of the occasion.
