The group of attendants who may accompany a quinceañera is traditionally called her court of honor. In Spanish, the group may be described as a corte de honor.
The court commonly includes damas and chambelanes. Damas are female attendants, while chambelanes are male attendants in many Spanish-speaking traditions. The members may enter with the celebrant, stand with her during formal moments, and participate in a choreographed waltz or other dance.
The size and composition of the court are not fixed. Some celebrations have a large group, some use only a few attendants, and others omit a court entirely. Friends, siblings, cousins, or other relatives may be selected according to family preference.
The term can be confused with a wedding party because the two groups may have coordinated clothing and ceremonial roles. A quinceañera court, however, belongs to a birthday tradition and does not signify a marriage ceremony.
