We investigate the dynamics of a glass forming 2D colloidal mixture and show the existence of collective motions of the particles. We introduce a mean square displacement MSD with respect to the nearest neighbors which shows remarkable deviations from the usual MSD quantifying the individual motion of our particles. Combined with the analysis of the self part of the Van Hove function this indicates a coupled motion of particles with their cage as well as intra cage hopping processes.
