What is the Spanish name for the formal group that escorts a quinceañera?

The Spanish name for the formal group that escorts a quinceañera is corte de honor.

The phrase translates as “court of honor.” Members of the court accompany the honoree during her entrance, formal presentation, and choreographed dance. Depending on the family and region, the group may include young women, young men, or a mixed set of friends and relatives.

A court is not the same thing as the guests at the reception. Its members usually have assigned roles and may coordinate clothing, rehearsals, and dance movements. Some celebrations use a large court, while others choose only a few attendants or none at all.

English-language descriptions sometimes use the words damas and chambelanes for particular members of a court. Terminology is not completely uniform across Spanish-speaking communities, so corte de honor is the broad formal expression rather than a guarantee of one fixed membership pattern.
