The House of Aviance (acronym: HOA) is one of the "legendary/iconic" and major vogue-ball houses in the United States, with its base in New York City. It was founded in Washington, D.C., in 1989 by voguer/dancer, record label owner (CEO/A&R), nightclub host, music artist and secretary Mother Juan Aviance—one of the nightlife personalities of New York City. Since its founding, the House has played an integral part in U.S. and world ball culture, especially U.S. nightlife.

The House of Aviance is one of the longest continuously active Houses to have emerged from the ball scene and is sometimes referred to as "a working house" with membership from all walks of life, sexualities and genders. Its membership include dancers, musicians, DJs, drag queens, performing artists, visual artists, singers, songwriters, music producers and engineers. The Legendary House of Aviance is especially known for its voguers, performances, runways, fashion, music, music producers and DJs. Its membership as of 2014 is just over 700 worldwide. Most of its members are or have been part of nightlife in one way or another.

The House has for a long time stopped competing (walking) in the ball scene, and as such, "is not exactly like the voguing houses of Jennie Livingston's film Paris Is Burning, since it does not compete. The House of Aviance is something of a queer kinship network in which members serve as extended, pretended, and—some would argue—improved family that supports and enables its members."

The House of Aviance was founded in August 1989 by Mother Juan Aviance. The House began in Washington, D.C., on 1420 Harvard Street before it was moved in 1993 to New York City by Mother Juan. Since its move, New York has become its base, but it still plays an active role in New York and Washington, D.C.'s nightlife as well as other cities in the U.S. Since its inception, it has become one of the major Houses in New York's ballroom and voguing scene having won many trophies and cash prizes for their performances in ball competitions before the House ultimately stopped walking balls altogether.

Previously, The House of Aviance was called The House of Power. That remained the name for few weeks during its inception until Mother Juan decided to change it to The House of Aviance. According to Mother Juan, he was glancing at a vendor's cart on the streets of DC. The vendor was selling perfumes. As Mother Juan glanced at the cart, he remembered a commercial from his childhood days by Prince Matchabelli. That commercial contained a tune with the lyrics: "We're going to have an Aviance Night." In an epiphany, Mother Juan decided to rename the House to The House of Aviance. Since then, the name of the House has remained the same.

To commemorate their second anniversary, The House of Aviance threw its first ball on Sunday, August 11, 1991, titled "The Inferno Ball at Tracks DC". Most of the notable New York and DC houses walked that night, including Aviance members. Some of the judges that night included the icons Dorian Corey and Pepper LaBeija, both featured in the acclaimed Paris Is Burning film a year earlier.

Since its founding, Mother Juan Aviance has remained the "House Mother", and Daddy Tony Aviance the "House Father". As of 2017, they are two of the longest serving and continuously active house parents in ballroom house history. The House of Aviance's first DJ was Jean-Philippe Aviance who went on to produce Go Bitch Go! – "Work This Pussy" (Original Bitch Mix) in 1991, Useless, Give Me Luv – Alcatraz and several other tracks.

The Aviance style of voguing is referred to as "Aviance Storytelling". It is based on graceful, sharp and elegant lines with great fluidity and a high degree of experimentation and individuality. Fluidity is key in Aviance Storytelling. The style is narrative in structure and form, punctuated by an "A" or heart-like motif in certain phrases symbolizing the name of the House or the House's logo (The Sacred Heart of Aviance).
