Performances by:
House of Ada.
House of ADA (Latin for Fairy) was spontaneously established at one of Portland Oregon's first ball, where original funding members: Brittany DeLano, Nicholas Petrich and Daniel Girón took home their own individual trophy (Love Ball 2014). Instantly making them the top contenders in the Northwest Ballroom scene. Over the years, current father and mother, Daniel Girón and Paula Metzler have taken leadership roles, cultivating a strong well rounded group, along with helping mentor and mold other voguers who have gone on to become house leaders in their own right. ADA's strength such as performance quality and dynamic sex appeal showcase through performances, battles and clubs as they continue to raise the bar for other local houses. When the Northwest ballroom scene recognizes strong local Vogue performers, The House of ADA is a staple as a pioneer and trailblazer, always setting an example as teachers, entertainers and students.
House of Aquarius:
A family of creators weaving and sharing their stories together through ritual, performance and dance.
