Definitions

1

In ballroom, a house is a chosen family led by a 'mother' and/or 'father.' The members are the kids — the children of the house. They take the house's name as their surname, walk balls under its banner, build a shared reputation, and don't have to battle each other. It's family in the realest sense: many ballroom kids were rejected by their birth families, and the house is who's left.
