With the help of two British students, Tom Georgio and Johnny Hyams, a Capoeira Dance group was formed amongst the youth in Hamburg.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian blend of martial art, game and dance. It was begun by African slaves in Brazil in the sixteenth century, but has evolved into a very popular activity amongst youth across the globe.

Msindisi Mva continues to lead his group of over twenty-strong young people. Members of the Capoeira Group have travelled around South Africa, meeting other groups and practising with experienced instructors. The Hamburg group maintains close ties with Johnny and Tom and their Capoeira group in Oxford. They continue to practise everyday and benefit hugely from any interested visiting teachers or followers of the energetic art form.
