The ensemble includes sisters Anna and Meghan Glassey, Nancy Tello and Kristin McKnight, a CSULB graduate and bartender at The Cellar. The dancers met two years ago in the LBCC dance program, and at the urging of McKnight, formed a dance troupe.

When asked how they got their name, McKnight said, "We dance in The Cellar with a style similar to the Pussycat Dolls."
