What group of attendants commonly accompanies the celebrant at a quinceañera?

A court of honor is the group of attendants commonly accompanying a quinceañera.

The court traditionally consists of young women called damas and young men called chambelanes, although modern celebrations may use different combinations of attendants. They may participate in the formal entrance, the waltz, photographs, and other choreographed parts of the event.

The court of honor is sometimes compared with a wedding party because it has a visible ceremonial role, but it is not necessarily a bridal party. Its size and membership are determined by the family and the celebrant. Some quinceañeras have a large court, while others have only a few attendants or none at all.

Terminology varies across Spanish-speaking communities. Dama means lady or female attendant, and chambelán traditionally refers to a male attendant or escort. These roles are cultural customs rather than universal requirements of a quinceañera.
