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’.

Submerge yourself in an experience led by a local pioneer! Explore the inspiring realm beyond the touristic facade of Cape Town.
A Side by Side experience offers the ideal interactive method to break free from the tourist habits, live reminiscent of a local, and contribute positively. A portion of each booking directly benefits the pioneers we are in collaboration with, in the form of annual gifts: equipment, scholarships, and monetary donations.
To guarantee the smooth operation of your pioneer-led experience and satisfy every minute need of the guests, an SbS escort will accompany you from the beginning till the end (if you include the Hotel Pickup option). Your escort will furnish you with all the necessary background information and take care of the entry fees for you.
Optionally include the Photoshoot add-on for high-quality photos/videos of your activities, delivered via Google Drive on the same day.
Educate, enjoy, envision, connect, and emerge a transformed individual by partaking in this experience with some genuinely inspiring denizens.
