As with all major events, things won’t be able to take off quite as spectacularly without your participation. Just ask any of our seniors; helping out, hanging out at the academy, and getting to know the gang better are all part of the fun of capoeira at Bantus.

To quote Mestre himself, “Participação muito importante…”. Please talk to Quek if you are able to help out in any way.

Our most pressing need at the moment is for volunteers to help weave cordas for the Batizado, and you’ll be working in pairs. Trust us, it’s fun to bond like this.
