Dance has been instrumental to the development of New Orleans’ jazz culture since the bourgeoning jass days and is a fundamental feature of the doll-masking and street-parading phenomena of the early twentieth century. Established in March 2005 by New Orleans native and choreographer Millisia White, the New Orleans Society of Dance Baby Doll Ladies provides girls and women between the ages of seventeen and sixty plus a fun, productive place to get physically active, enrich their lives, and make connections with their peers. In Krewe of New Orleans Baby Doll Ladies’ Homecoming, White presents a collection of photographs and biographies painting a portrait of the Baby Doll Ladies for 2019. A brief introduction is followed by the biographies of twenty-four dancers that offer short histories of each dancer, along with a list of personal details, such as birthdate, year of induction, hobbies, favorite color, and favorite dish.
