What is the formal group of attendants often included in a quinceañera called?

The formal group of attendants often included in a quinceañera is called the Court of Honor.

The court traditionally consists of friends or relatives chosen by the celebrant. Depending on local custom and family preference, it may include young women called damas, young men called chambelanes, or attendants of mixed genders.

Members of the court may participate in a formal entrance, choreographed dances, or other parts of the program. Their presence is ceremonial rather than governmental: the phrase “court” uses a royal-style image to emphasize the event’s formality.

The size and composition of a court are not fixed. Some celebrations use a large group, while others have only a few attendants or none at all. This flexibility is one reason the court should be treated as a common tradition, not a mandatory feature of every quinceañera.
