The attendants who perform dances with a quinceañera are commonly called her court of honor.
A court of honor traditionally consists of friends or relatives selected to accompany the celebrant during formal parts of the event. Members may participate in an entrance, posed photographs, and a choreographed waltz or other dance.
The court can include girls, boys, or a mixed group, depending on the family’s preferences and local customs. Some celebrations use the Spanish terms damas for female attendants and chambelanes or chambelanes de honor for male attendants.
The court of honor is not the same as a wedding party, even when the visual arrangement looks similar. Its role is to support and celebrate the birthday honoree, and contemporary families may reduce the group, change its composition, or omit it.
