About The Illustrious House of Iris
The House of Iris is the Trailblazing Ballroom house based in Canberra, dedicated to cultivating community, artistry, and excellence.
Rooted in the legacy of Ballroom — a space created by Black and Latinx queer communities — the House of Iris exists as a home for self-expression, performance, and chosen family. Through workshops, kiki functions, and balls, the House fosters growth, confidence, and connection within the local scene.
Blending softness with power, discipline with fantasy, the House of Iris invites you to step into a world where the eye is everything — and what you see is only the beginning.
