Bensonhurst’s got talent!
Nearly a hundred budding ballerinas, musicians, and singers busted out their best beats for a Bensonhurst talent show on March 12 that honored the brave men and women who serve Brooklyn as firefighters and police. The show, “To Heroes from Children” at The Allure Group’s King David Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation intended to teach tykes respect for those who lay it all on the line to keep them safe, said the organizer.
“We decided to do this to teach the kids how important it is to respect our heros — policemen and firemen,” said Besonhurster Leonora Bulychova, who runs the organization behind the event, Club a-Elita. “And I think they got the message. They were very proud to perform and very excited.”
Officers from the 62nd Precinct, firefighters from Engine 330 and Ladder 172, and local pols were serenaded by crooning tweens, a violin ensemble, and traditional Russian and Roma dances. It was a dazzling display that really wowed the audience, said Bulychova.
“It was on par with Broadway because all the kids are on such a high level,” she said. “It really was a beautiful show with a good message.”
