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

Plunge into this captivating encounter led by an innovative native! Explore the inspirational depths beyond Cape Town’s conventional tourist facade.

A Side by Side adventure provides the ideal, practical approach to avoid regular touristy places, live in the way of a resident, and make a difference. A fraction of each booking is directly rerouted to the innovative locals we are associated with, in the form of year-end donations: supplies, scholarships, and cash gifts.

To guarantee that your encounter, supervised by a changemaker, progresses without a hitch and all your needs are satisfied, an SbS guide will accompany you from start to end, from the moment of pick-up to drop-off (if you include the Hotel Pickup extension). Your guide will equip you with all the necessary background information and take care of entry fees.

You have the choice to include the Photoshoot extension for HD images/videos of you in the moment, sent the same day via Google Drive.

Educate yourself, enjoy, conceive, form connections, and emerge transformed after participating in this encounter with some exceptionally motivational locals.
