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’.

Dive into this unique experience hosted by a local innovator! Explore the captivating world hidden beneath Cape Town’s tourist hotspots.
A Side by Side experience is an ideal, hands-on method to avoid typical tourist paths, enjoy an authentic local lifestyle, and make a meaningful contribution. A portion of each reservation directly benefits the innovators we’ve collaborated with, through year-end presents such as equipment, fellowships, and monetary donations.

Your guide will equip you with all necessary background information and manage the entrance fees on your behalf.
Choose the optional Photoshoot add-on to receive HD photos/videos of yourself enjoying the experience, delivered via Google Drive on the same day.
