Euronews: Ballet classes in one of Peru’s most impoverished neighborhoods.
María del Carmen Silva, a retired professional dancer in Lima, Peru, teaches girls whose families cannot afford ballet classes. Most of the girls are from Chorillos, a neighborhood of the capital plagued by unemployment, delinquency and lack of access to clean water.
