Founded in 2005, the New Orleans Society of Dance (NOSD) is a community-centered dance company that identifies, develops, and enriches emerging performing artists while preserving and showcasing the cultural legacy of women’s folk arts in Louisiana. As the official historic preservationist of the Mardi Gras doll-masking tradition, NOSD is home to the acclaimed ensemble The Masking Krewe of Baby Doll Ladies, which works to revive this once-dormant cultural practice and return it to public prominence.
