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".
