Highlights
  • Masiphumelele - 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 an experience led by a local innovator! Explore the inspiring world hidden beneath the tourism of Cape Town.

A Side by Side experience provides the ultimate opportunity to steer clear of the typical tourist itinerary, live the local life, and make a difference. A portion of each booking goes straight back to the innovators we collaborate with through year-end donations: gear, scholarships, and cash grants.

An SbS guide will escort you to make sure your innovator-led experience operates seamlessly and all guest necessities are catered for, from pick-up to drop-off (with the added Hotel Pickup option). Your guide will supply you all the essential background information and handle the entrance fee payments for you.

You can also choose to add the Photoshoot option for high-quality photos and videos of your active involvement, sent via Google Drive the same day.
