Quinceanera
Traditionally, a quinceañera court is made up of 15 young people (including you). Introducing the Corte de Honor officially kicks off the party. Each quinceañera court member represents a year of your life, with la quinceañera representing your 15th year. These 14 people are special friends and relatives whom you choose as a symbol of the transition to womanhood, which is truly what your quinceañera represents. This rite of passage is similar to debutante balls and sweet sixteen parties. They all represent a girl's transition from childhood to womanhood.
