..."225 sat down with Southern University band director Kedric Taylor to dive deeper into how the Fabulous Dancing Dolls get so fabulous. suhumanjukebox.com

Take us back to the beginning. How did the Dolls get started?

In 1969, the legendary (band director) Isaac ‘Doc’ Greggs started the Dancing Dolls. He had a vision to start a team that would be glamorous, lustrous, have style, grace and character that stood out unlike any other. The goal was to enhance the shows that he already created.

How do auditions work? What experience do you need to have?

Every year about 100 ladies audition. The number (selected for the team) fluctuates, but we try not to go over 11 because of uniform purposes and because we’re very limited on practice space.

There is a three-step process. (We) send them a video (of a dance) by email to learn before they come to campus. Then they go through (the audition) progressions. Then we say ‘OK, how do they look as a team?’

Everything about the Dancing Dolls is precise. From the toes being pointed to the hands being straight, to their legs going a certain way. It’s an art. If you haven’t been taught that art, it’s going to be difficult to make the team.

What are the team requirements?

You have to be able to manage your time. You have to have at least a 2.7 GPA to audition, but our Dolls have raised the bar, and they all have at least a 3.0 GPA.

The Dancing Dolls and the Human Jukebox perform every year at the Bayou Classic during the Battle of the Bands, one of the most popular events of the weekend. Photos Courtesy Southern University."
