DREAMHOUSE is a costume design and voguing dance program for ballroom youth, culminating in a live performance to commemorate Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR).

"DREAMHOUSE" is a play on the Barbie Doll Dreamhouse, referencing both the house structure of ballroom and the ballroom vernacular term "doll." The "doll" of PROTECT THE DOLLS comes from ballroom, not "gay slang" or "Gen Z internet speak," but from the Black trans women who are the heart of ballroom. DREAMHOUSE is a powerful tool of trans activism and artistry, using creative mentorship to spotlight ballroom talent as the epicentre of queer arts and culture.

DREAMHOUSE is led by Toronto ballroom community leaders Charlotte Carbone, Diséiye Thompson, Solange Alexander, and Ern In Motion, who are also multi-disciplinary artists in their respective practices of costume design and dance performance.
