Girls from families in
the favelas of Rio de
Janeiro take a lesson
at Na Ponta dos Pés,
a ballet initiative run
by Tuany Nascimento.
A ballerina from
the favelas herself,
Nascimento sees
ballet as a way for
girls to embrace their
bodies and build con-
fidence. She believes
beauty and strength
are intertwined.
