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 into a unique encounter, led by a local influencer! Explore the inspiring environment beneath the tourist spots of Cape Town.

A ‘Side by Side’ experience is an ideal way to break away from the mainstream tourist scene, live the native culture, and make a difference. A fraction of every booking directly supports the influencers we collaborate with through end-of-year donations like equipment, scholarships and cash aids.

To ensure your influencer-led encounter is flawless and all guest requirements are addressed, an ‘Side by Side’ representative will accompany you throughout the journey, from pick-up to drop-off (if you avail the Hotel Pick-up extra). Your guide will provide you with all the necessary information and take care of entrance fees.

You can optionally avail the Photoshoot extra for high-definition images/videos of your participation, shared via Google Drive on the same day.

Share in knowledge, laughter, creativity, connection, and leave as a transformed individual after sharing this encounter with truly inspiring local residents.
