The four female dancers are dressed in matching outfits comprised of a striped, corset dress with a small ruffle skirt and matching elbow length gloves. A top hat tied with a large bow sits askew on each woman's head. The dancers are dancing in a line and are facing the right side of the image. Laura Cathrell is depicted at the front of the line. Her elbows are bent and raised, and her hands are pointed downwards. Birdie Warfield Edison is depicted at the back of the line. Her arms are held slightly in front of her with her fingers slightly extended outwards. There is a band depicted on the left side of the image. The visible male musicians includes a saxophonist, a drummer, and a bass player. Two music stands have the text, [JOHNNIE / COLE'S], printed on the front. The women stand on a stage surrounded by dinner tables. There are no inscriptions on the front or back of the photograph.
