The RBH Parent-Child Cultural Communication Center recently hosted the fourth annual “Chinese Heritage Fashion Show for Kids” at the Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn. This event aims to promote Chinese culture and foster confidence in children, receiving enthusiastic support from the local Chinese community. The fashion show, which incorporated dance performances, blended traditional styles with contemporary flair, creating a unique visual feast for attendees while boosting the kids’ confidence.
RBH ensured a high level of professionalism by inviting renowned modeling instructors from New York, including an Asian dance teacher currently pursuing a doctorate in dance, to choreograph the event. RBH’s dance instructors also put together a dance titled “Entwined,” which creatively utilized both upper and extension stages to deliver a visually stunning experience for the audience.
The show opened with a solo piano performance of “Castle in the Sky” and featured over 40 participants aged three to 18 from Brooklyn, Flushing, and Long Island. The children were adorned in exquisite traditional Chinese attire that showcased the fashion from various dynasties and regions. A highlight of the event was a performance by the “Chinatown Spirit Dance Team,” which brilliantly captured the unique charm of ancient costumes mixed with exotic influences.
In the second segment, the creative T-shirt showcase, models seemed to transport the audience from ancient to modern times, displaying their boundless imagination. During costume changes, the host engaged the audience with interactive games, generating laughter and a lively atmosphere. Audience members were encouraged to vote for their favorite participants, leading to an exciting announcement of the top winners: champion Suyi, runner-up Ansonbella Jiang, and third place Emily Huang.
RBH expressed its pride in providing children with a platform to express themselves and gain confidence. The preparation for the event has strengthened parent-child relationships, contributing positively to the promotion of traditional Chinese culture and community cohesion among the Chinese diaspora. Since its inception, the fashion show has captured the hearts of Chinese families, cultivating a devoted following that eagerly participates each year.
