The House of Marilyn Monroe made history by debuting and officially launching Ballroom in Canada in December of 2006, forever cementing our name in the Formation & Foundation of the Canadian Ballroom Scene. Built on legacy, resilience, and excellence, the House of Monroe stands as a pillar of chosen family cultivating love, discipline, and greatness both on and off the floor.
We’ve reached an incredible milestone of 20 years, filled with both triumphs and challenges. That journey makes this evening even more meaningful as we come together to share, reflect, and celebrate with our wonderful community, friends, family, and supporters. Thank you for being part of our journey!
On Saturday December 12th 2026 We Celebrate 20 Years of The House of Monroe & The Inception of Ballroom Culture in Canada.
We Cordially Invite All that are apart of one of the best Cultures to exist and all that love to support us on this night for MONROE 20 Ball
