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 local-led experience helmed by a local advocate! Discover the awe-inspiring richness beyond the tourist tracks in Cape Town.
A Side by Side journey presents an ideal, active method to avoid the typical tourist hangouts, embrace the local way of life, and make a difference. A portion of every booking is channeled directly back to the local advocates we collaborate with in the form of end-of-year contributions: tools, scholarships, and monetary aids.
To guarantee your experience led by a local advocate proceeds without hitch and all your needs are catered to, an SbS companion will accompany you all the way, from collection to return (if you opt for the Hotel Pickup add-on). Your companion will provide all the essential context you need to understand and handle the admission charges for you.
You can also choose to add the Photoshoot add-on for high-resolution photos/videos of your action-packed journey delivered via Google Drive on the same day.
Absorb, giggle, envision, connect, and emerge a transformed individual after partaking in this experience with some truly motivational locals.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
