About

Exotic Royalties Children Carnival Troupe was founded in 2024 with the vision of empowering the youth of the U.S. Virgin Islands through the vibrant traditions of carnival. As we embark on our inaugural year, our mission is to provide children and teens, ages 5 to 17, with a dynamic and inclusive platform to express their creativity, embrace their cultural heritage, and develop essential life skills. We are committed to creating a safe and nurturing space where every participant feels valued, inspired, and part of a larger community.

For our younger participants, ages 5 to 12, we plan to focus on introducing the magic of carnival through colorful costumes, fun-filled parades, and interactive workshops. These activities will help build their confidence, teamwork skills, and understanding of the cultural significance of carnival while ensuring they have an unforgettable and joyful experience.

For our teens, ages 13 to 17, we aim to provide deeper engagement and opportunities for personal growth. Young males and females will have the chance to take on leadership roles, participate in mentorship programs, and learn skills such as costume design, choreography, and event planning. These initiatives will not only help them develop responsibility and creativity but also allow them to become ambassadors of culture and tradition in their communities.

Exotic Royalties is more than just a carnival troupe—it’s a movement dedicated to shaping future leaders, promoting cultural pride, and fostering unity among the youth of the USVI. By empowering our participants to express themselves and celebrate their heritage, we hope to build a legacy of creativity, community, and excellence that will continue for years to come. This is only the beginning, and we are excited to see the incredible achievements and lifelong memories our youth will create in our very first year.
