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 headfirst into an experience led by a local innovator! Explore the fascinating world beneath Cape Town’s typical tourist front.

A Side by Side encounter provides an ideal, practical method to step beyond the tourist clichés, live out a day as a Cape Tonian, and leave a positive impact. A portion of every reservation is given back directly to the innovators we collaborate with in the form of end-of-year gifts: important equipment, scholarships, and cash grants.

To make sure your innovator-led experience goes without a hitch and that every tiny detail of guests’ demands is fulfilled, an SbS guide will accompany you the entire journey, from start to end (if you choose the Hotel Pickup add-on). Your guide will supply you all the background knowledge you require and handle the admission charges for you.

You also have the option to add the Photoshoot add-on to receive high-definition pictures/videos of your memorable moments, delivered via Google Drive on the same day.

Educate yourself, share laughter, create new ideas, form bonds, and return as a transformed individual after spending time with these incredibly inspiring locals.
