Cheetah Girls

The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld the right of young women under the age of 21 to perform at establishments in Atlanta where alcohol is served. The Court's ruling strikes down a 2007 City of Atlanta ordinance which prohibited anyone under the age of 21 from entering, working in or performing where alcohol is sold by-the-drink. The ordinance had adversely and specifically affected dancers at Cheetah who were 18+ but under 21.

The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled in favor of five CheetahGirls in a 2007 lawsuit they brought against the City of Atlanta. At the time, all five were either 19 or 20 years old.

In a unanimous decision, the high court reversed a Fulton County Superior Court rulingthat upheld the City ordinance.

As a result of Monday's ruling entertainers over the age of 18 are now eligible to audition and perform at Cheetah once again.

Congratulations, CheetahGirls, and thanks for taking the lead in challenging the City ordinance.
