Langa - HOST EXAMPLE:
The lead Zumba entrepreneur has a one-of-a-kind flare and personality that makes you come alive. On a water break, he will share his inspiring story of how dance and exercise got him out of a life as a gangster.
On the drive to Langa (if ‘Hotel Pickup add-on’ added), your guide will give you some key information about where you’re headed, who the community partners are, what you’ll experience, and general best practices to bear in mind.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the community partners and your guide will help break the ice a bit before jumping into the African Zumba & Stories experience.
Try your hand (and foot) at some of the local styles: African Dance, Afro-Fusion, Kasi Jive, Pantsula, Kwela, Traditional Xhosa & Traditional Tswana.
The time together is always dynamic and responsive to guest preferences, but generally it’s evenly split 3 ways: (A) Zumba dancing, (B) Storytelling & advocacy, (C) Grace time & natural interaction.
Dance not your thing? Jam out on our djembe drums!
N.B. NOTE: Kids from a community-based after-school program will only be present if you book an option that includes the ‘Kids add-on’.

Delve into an extraordinary experience led by a local innovator! Explore the remarkable world beneath Cape Town’s principal tourist attractions.
A Side by Side experience is an exceptional opportunity to break free from the usual touristic hustle, live authentically like a local, and make a notable difference. A portion of every booking is directly re-invested into the innovators we’ve collaborated with, in the form of end-of-year contributions: facilities, scholarships, and money grants.
To guarantee your innovator-hosted experience progresses flawlessly and guests’ all-encompassing needs are satisfied, an SbS escort will accompany you consistently, from pick-up to drop-off (should you opt for the Hotel Pickup add-on). Your escort will equip you with all the necessary background information and manage the entry fees on your behalf.
Optionally, add the Photoshoot add-on to receive HD images/videos of you engaging in this experience, delivered via Google Drive on the same day.
Educate, entertain, envision, connect, and transform as an individual after being part of this experience with absolutely inspiring locals.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
