​DÒDÒ and The Pilates Social are teaming up for an intimate session that’s 50% "I’m a fitness icon" and 50% "I’m here for the rum". It’s Pilates, West African culture, and the world’s first plantain rum.

​What to expect

​Part 0: The arrival 
Start with a welcome vanilla matcha. It’s green, it’s chic, and it says, "I have my life together".

​Part 1: The "athleisure" phase (45 mins)
A full-body Pilates class for all levels. Challenging but accessible, and set to a Nigerian Ibiza-inspired playlist because this work out should feel like a party.

​Part 2: The plantain pairing challenge (The best part)
This is where the science happens - and by science, we mean eating.

​We’ve got three West African plantain bites - gizdodo, plantain chips, and kelewele - paired with three different DÒDÒ serves. You’re the judge. You decide which pairing is the soulmate of the evening. Our mixologist will explain the "flavour science," but honestly it's fine if you’re just there for the plantain rum.

​Part 3: The debrief & mingle
This is where you compare notes. Which pairing was the soulmate? Which cocktail is your new personality? Before you head out, grab a goodie bag - a little piece of the vibe to take home with you.
