Auditions will be held in the Spring, after the Mardi Gras season. Dance experience is helpful, but not required! We do not accept video audition submissions if someone cannot make the audition in person. All candidates must be 21+.

2026 Auditions
Membership Requirements
The main "it factor" needed is a love for dance, for supporting other human beings, and for the people and culture of New Orleans. We are a dance focused group, and we have at least one practice a week — more when we are preparing for dance performances and parades — so there must be room in your life for that. We ask that all members attend a minimum of one practice per month in order to stay active. We practice hard both because we LOVE to dance and so we can bring our best for our events. We are a small group committed to connection and a culture of support and non-discrimination. All members also have responsibilities to keep the group running and thriving, beyond just dancing and membership. If you love dance but also love to work and play hard, then the cherries could be a great fit for you! All of our members must be 21+.
