Washington Park Association of Hudson Community in New Jersey presented an event this past Saturday, it brought communities together to enjoy arts, music, and dance in the park. The community center is located by the border of Jersey City and Union City. There were activities such as, gardening, yoga, art workshop, face painting, live music, break dancing, and live band; interactive activities for everyone to watch and enjoy. The event started around one o'clock and ended around four in the afternoon.

One of performers for the event was CUDA - "Community For Urban Dance and Art". People from CUDA did break dancing and initiated a dance circle to encourage kids to participate. There were also opportunities where the CUDA members instructed kids on how to do some of the basic breaking moves.

This program was made possible in parts by funds from the New Jersey State Council for the Arts. Other sponsors were The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, The Palisade, Green Collar Futures, Relaible Wood Products, Empire Realty Group LLC, Hudson County Genealogical & Historical Society, and WPA "Washington Park Association".

CUDA Culture - Community for Urban Dance and Arts

The Community for Urban Dance & Art is organized for the educational purpose of providing a positive and creative outlet for inner-city youth through diverse art forms founded in the urban culture. With the goal to stimulate a young person's talents, enhance self-confidence, personal growth, and appreciation for the visual and performing arts, CUDA has teamed up with diverse groups of artists, musicians, dancers and organizers to make great programs and workshops available for the youth in Hudson County and surrounding areas. We also aim to emphasize self-discipline, team-work, leadership skills, decision-making skills, appreciation of multicultural differences, and community service.


With your individual help and support, together we can make our community a better place by helping our young people reach their dreams
