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’.

Immerse yourself in a riveting event conducted by a local trailblazer! Explore the fascinating world hidden beneath the touristy facade of Cape Town.
A Side by Side encounter provides a unique, hands-on opportunity to break free from the typical tourist spots, experience local life, and contribute positively. A part of every booking is directly allocated back to the trailblazers we work with in the form of annual presents: tools, scholarships, and financial grants.
An SbS guide will accompany you from the beginning to the end to ensure your event led by the trailblazer goes without a hitch, and all your needs are fulfilled - this includes a pick-up and drop-off service, if you choose the Hotel Pickup add-on. Your guide will offer all the details you need to know and handle the entry fees on your behalf.
Consider adding the Photoshoot add-on for high-quality photos and videos of your adventure, sent to you via Google Drive on the same day.
Get inspired, have fun, dream, connect, and transform after participating in this unforgettable experience with truly inspiring locals.
