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’.

Delve into an engaging encounter hosted by a local innovator. Discover the enthralling realm that lies beneath Cape Town’s tourist exteriors. A ‘Side by Side’ encounter offers a unique, practical opportunity to break free from typical tourist paths, immerse yourself in the local culture, and contribute positively. We allocate a portion of each booking directly to the innovators we work with as annual endowments: equipment, scholarships, and monetary grants. To make sure your encounter with the local innovator goes without a hitch and meets every single expectation, a ‘Side by Side’ guide will accompany you from beginning to end, if you choose the Hotel Pickup add-on. The guide will equip you with all the background information you need and take care of the admission fees. You also have the option to include the Photoshoot add-on to receive high-resolution images/videos of your activities via Google Drive on the same day. Imbibe knowledge, share laughter, fuel your imagination, form close connections, and return as a transformed individual after sharing this encounter with our incredibly inspiring local individuals.
