Marcelly de Mello da Silva, 15, of Villa Isabel dances in front of residents in the favela of Morro de Borel, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2013. Passinho or "little step" is a free-form style of dance that is catching on with young people all over the city. The dance borrows from various influences, including samba movements, break dance handstands, and is set to pounding beats on top of soulful hooks. Although Passinho has been around for years, it only recently gained momentum after the baile funk, preferred by drug traffickers, started disappearing during the pacification of the slums.
