KREWE OF BABY DOLL LADIES, 2024
Your One & Only Mardi Gras Baby Dolls Dance Parade!
Dance Company
Since 2005, the Official New Orleans Baby Dolls have carried forward a vital piece of Mardi Gras tradition through their dance company and signature ensemble. Alongside leading the annual Baby Doll Ladies Mardi Gras Dance-Parade, the ensemble also presents Oh, Those Baby Dolls—an immersive cabaret-style production filled with music, dance, and storytelling.
This lively theatrical work draws inspiration from the often under-told chronicles of the Baby Doll tradition’s Jazz dance roots. Each year, members of the dance-theater ensemble bring these stories to life through choreographed works that culminate in a master performance on Mardi Gras Day at Lafayette Square and Gallier Hall.
