Why We Love This Unique Experience

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Indigenous African Dance with a Kids add-on experience! Located in a community rich in culture and traditions, this unique experience offers a hands-on opportunity to learn traditional African dance styles alongside local children. The session is dynamic, interactive, and tailored to guest preferences, with a focus on African Dance, Afro-Fusion, Kasi Jive, Pantsula, Kwela, Traditional Xhosa, and Traditional Tswana styles.Led by a passionate changemaker with a personal story to share, you'll not only get moving and grooving to the rhythms of Africa but also gain insights into the power of dance as a form of self-expression and community bonding. African Zumba & Stories will be at the heart of the experience, with a mix of dancing, storytelling, and natural interaction. And for those less inclined to dance, there's the option to join in on the djembe drumming for a bit of rhythmic fun.This meaningful experience includes a charitable pledge towards community development, admission to the changemaker-hosted experience, and a dedicated tour guide to ensure a smooth and unforgettable experience. Whether you're looking to step out of your comfort zone, explore different cultural expressions, or simply have a fun and enriching time, this Indigenous African Dance Class with Kids add-on makes a fantastic gift for anyone seeking an authentic and engaging experience.

Experience Overview:

Indigenous African Dance Class W/ Kids Add-on

Get immersed in this experience hosted by a local changemaker! Enter the inspiring world underneath Cape Town's touristy surface.
A Side by Side experience is the perfect, hands-on way to escape the tourist trap, live like a local, and make an impact. A percentage of every booking goes directly back to the changemakers we've partnered with in the form of year-end gifts: equipment, bursaries, and cash grants.

To ensure your changemaker-hosted experience runs smoothly and guests' every last need is met, an SbS guide will be by your side throughout, from pick-up to drop-off (if you add the Hotel Pickup add-on). Your guide will provide you all the background info you need to know and settle the entrance fees on your behalf.

Optionally add the Photoshoot add-on for HD pics/vids of you in action sent by Google Drive same day.

Learn, laugh, imagine, bond, and come away a changed person after sharing this experience with some seriously inspiring locals.

===
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!
