Move & Gospel: Family Viral Dance Tutorials

Imagine a space in Newham where families, individuals, and entire communities come together to move, laugh, and feel good—regardless of age, background, or experience. This is the vision behind Viral Dance Family Tutorials, a community-focused project inspired by the energy and impact of Move & Gospel—a local initiative known for helping people kickstart their fitness journeys through dance, accessible exercise classes, and a fun, music-filled atmosphere. You’ve probably seen people dancing online—laughing, moving, and having fun with the latest trending routines. With Viral Dance Family Tutorials, you’ll be able to learn those dances step by step, right here in your own community—and even better, you’ll get to share the experience and spend time together with friends, family, or neighbours.

We envision a series of free, weekly dance sessions open to everyone—from mums with babies in slings looking for a moment of release, to city workers needing to unwind, to those who haven’t danced in years and miss the way it once made them feel. It’s also a space for families to come together, switch off from screens, and reconnect through joyful movement. Children are welcome—whether they dance or just hang out nearby—helping remove the barriers that often keep parents and carers from taking part. These sessions are designed to be fun, accessible, and inclusive, led by passionate local instructors (many of them parents themselves) and powered by gospel music, rhythm, and community spirit. Over 18 sessions, we aim to bring together 200–400 people, creating moments of joy, confidence, and connection.
