Highlights
  • 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’.

Additional Information

Dive into an incredible experience led by a local influencer! Discover the enchanting world hidden beneath Cape Town’s typical tourist highlights.

A Side by Side journey provides an engaging, interactive way to break free from cliché tourist spots, live authentically, and contribute. A portion of every reservation goes straight back to our collaborative influencers in the form of end-of-year donations: equipment, scholarships, and financial grants.

Your guide will furnish you with all the essential background information and handle entry fees for you.

Choose to include the Photoshoot extra for same-day delivery of high-resolution images/videos of your adventures, sent via Google Drive.
