What is the formal group of attendants who may accompany the celebrant at a quinceañera called?

The formal group of attendants who may accompany the celebrant at a quinceañera is called the court of honor.

A court of honor traditionally consists of young people selected by the celebrant and family. Its members may participate in the entrance, formal photographs, choreographed dances, and other presentation rituals. Depending on the event, the group can include both girls and boys or follow a different arrangement.

The Spanish terms dama and chambelán are often used for female and male members, respectively. A male escort may also be called a chambelán de honor. These labels and the size of the court are not universal; many contemporary celebrations use smaller groups or omit a court entirely.

The court of honor is ceremonial rather than an official civic or religious body. Its purpose is to support the celebrant and add structure to the public presentation. The exact clothing, number of attendants, and dance roles are determined by local and family custom.
