154 Forest Road, Fanwood NJ

FANWOOD, N.J. — Why We Dance, a community initiative organized by Candace Waller, will host a free, open-level AfroBeats dance workshop on Sunday, August 30, at 3 p.m. at the Forest Road Park Building, 154 Forest Road, Fanwood, N.J. The event will bring residents together through dance while promoting fitness, wellness, health education and community connection through the arts.
Led by Shari LP, a New Jersey-based choreographer, dancer and dance educator with more than seven years of teaching experience, the workshop is designed for dancers of all levels, including those with little or no previous dance experience. The event will also feature refreshments and crafts.
Shari has taught throughout the tri-state area at dance studios, schools and community organizations, including Broadway Dance Center in New York City. As a choreographer, she has created work for music videos, live performances, festivals, showcases and independent artists.
Her passion for teaching extends beyond choreography. Shari is dedicated to helping dancers move from self-doubt to self-expression by creating an environment where movement feels accessible, empowering and joyful. She encourages students to build confidence, develop their artistry and connect with others through dance.
“Dance is more than learning steps,” Shari says. “It is about finding your voice, building confidence and connecting with others through movement.”
Through Why We Dance, Waller aims to make dance and wellness accessible to the community while creating opportunities for people to connect through the arts. The August 30 workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to experience AfroBeats dance in a welcoming, supportive environment while learning about the physical, social and creative benefits of movement.
The event is part of Waller’s broader commitment to using the arts to encourage healthy lifestyles, wellness and community engagement.
