What Spanish term names the quinceañera’s ceremonial court of escorts and attendants?

The quinceañera’s ceremonial court is traditionally called the corte de honor.

The corte de honor is made up of young people who accompany the celebrant during formal parts of the event. Depending on local custom and the family’s preferences, it may include both male and female attendants, often known as chambelanes and damas.

The court may participate in the entrance procession, formal photographs, choreographed dances, and other presentation rituals. Its size is not fixed internationally, so modern celebrations may have a large court, a small group, or no court at all.

The phrase is sometimes translated as “court of honor,” but the Spanish expression is the conventional name used in descriptions of the tradition. It should not be confused with a religious title or an official civic organization.
