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 deep into an encounter orchestrated by a local pioneer. Discover the awe-inspiring world that lies beneath the typical tourist trails of Cape Town.
A Side by Side experience provides a unique and hands-on opportunity to sidestep the typical tourist jaunt, live the local way of life, and effect positive change. A portion of every booking is given directly back to the pioneers we collaborate with through annual donations in the form of equipment, study grants or cash support.
An SbS guide will be present all through your pioneer-led journey to ensure smooth operation and to cater to all your needs, right from the pick-up to drop-off (provided you opt-in for the Hotel Pickup add-on). Prepare yourself with all the necessary background information and let your guide handle all entrance fees on your behalf.
You also have the option to add-on a Photoshoot for high-definition pictures and videos of your journey delivered to you via Google Drive on the same day.
Participate, revel, dream, connect, and return transformed from this shared adventure with some truly motivating locals.
