"Before I discovered Capoeira, I tried a lot of fitness-related things – but nothing really held my interest. Then, by chance, I experienced a Capoeira roda in Stuttgart – the energy, the rhythm, the togetherness struck me right in the heart.
Since then, it's been clear: Capoeira is more than just a sport. I play instruments, sing, speak a new language—and have made lifelong friends. The music and community give me strength, joy, and inner peace.
Capoeira changed my life – and even brought me the love of my life.

Music – We learn musical instruments (e.g. Berimbau, Pandeiro, Atabaque) and songs and get into the groove.
Roda – Finally, we will put what we have learned into practice in a playful and energetic way in the Roda.

Even as a child, I felt a mysterious attraction to capoeira. However, the opportunity to practice this fascinating martial art didn't arise until much later, when a capoeira course was offered at the university in Darmstadt. That was the starting point for me.
I then moved to Stuttgart for an internship. There, the Arte Nacional group was highly recommended to me. Since then, capoeira has been much more than just a sporting activity for me. It's an outlet to clear my head and unwind. Beyond that, another important aspect has developed for me: It also represents family and community.
In addition to Mestre Dedé, the Arte Nacional Capoeira Stuttgart group includes other trained Capoeira teachers who lead training, shows and workshops as needed and guide newcomers in their training.

"Until after I finished my studies, I danced in a professional dance company. After moving to Stuttgart, I missed dancing a lot. I discovered capoeira during a school project, and I immediately knew that was what I wanted to do."
"It's amazing how quickly I felt comfortable in the group and found a home alongside the sport. I owe many encounters and friendships with special people, my family, many trips that took me to Marseille, Amsterdam, Rome, and Brazil, and many wonderful moments to Capoeira!"
