#ballroom

A ballroom category of high-fashion, over-the-top glamour and extravagance.

Gossip, the latest news, or the truth — 'spill the tea' means tell me everything.

Old-school ballroom slang for stealing — especially clothes to compete in.

The ballroom emcee's call announcing the theme contestants must serve — 'the category is...'

An ecstatic, drawn-out 'yes' — pure excitement and approval.

To cleverly insult or call out someone's flaws with precision and wit.

An intensifier meaning 'completely' or 'to the max' — she served the house down.

A stylized ballroom dance of sharp poses, lines, and angular arm movements.

A ballroom category judged on how convincingly you embody a real-world look or role.

So shocked or amazed you're speechless — left gasping by something stunning.

A figure of authority and admiration — the icon everyone looks up to, or the head of a ballroom house.

So good it's almost offensive — a top-tier compliment for a flawless look or performance.

Hitting your moves or poses with full force and confidence — really going for it.

To deliver a flawless look or attitude with full confidence — she's serving.

A playful term of endearment, like 'honey' — used to address a friend with sass.

A subtle, sly insult or disrespect — disrespect implied rather than said outright.

A casual gathering for gossip, laughs, and good vibes with your people.

A term of endearment for a close friend — 'sister' shortened, used regardless of gender.

A hyped-up 'work it' — a shout of approval when someone looks or performs flawlessly.
