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 within the experience offered by a local pioneer! Discover the fascinating world below the tourist-laden surface of Cape Town.
Partaking in a Side by Side experience is an exceptional, practical approach to avoid the tourist swarm, exist as a local inhabitant, and make a significant contribution. A slice of every reservation goes straight back to the pioneers we’ve collaborated with, in the form of annual presents: apparatus, scholarships, and monetary awards.
To guarantee your pioneer-led experience proceeds without a hitch and all guest demands are fulfilled, an SbS escort will accompany you all the way, starting with pick-up till the drop-off (if you opt for the Hotel Pickup extra service). Your escort will provide all the necessary background facts you might require and sort out the entry dues for you.
You have the option to include the Photoshoot extra for HD pictures/videos of you participating, delivered via Google Drive on the same day.
Acquire new knowledge, revel, fantasize, connect, and become a transformed individual after living this experience with some incredibly motivating locals.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
