• 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’.

Dive into an enriching journey guided by a local catalyst! Discover the heartening universe beneath Cape Town’s customary tourist facade.

An experience with Side by Side is an ideal, practical escape from usual tourist routes, providing immersion in local life and promoting positive influence. A portion of each reservation is repurposed as end-of-year contributions to the catalysts we team up with, enabling them to procure equipment, scholastic assistance and financial aids.

To assure a seamless journey hosted by a changemaker and tailored to satisfy every guest’s necessity, a Side by Side representative will accompany you throughout, right from pick-up till drop-off (only if you opt for the Hotel Pickup supplementary service). The representative will enlighten you with necessary background details and take care of your entrance costs.

You have the optional choice of adding a Photoshoot extra for high-definition images/videos of your participatory moments, to be shared via Google Drive on the same day.

Experience, enjoy, envision, connect and emerge transformed after sharing this journey with some truly motivational locals.
