Former Ballerina with Alzheimer's recalls her moves to Swan Lake; Watch

A video that is leaving thousands of internet users across the globe teary-eyed and has gone viral shows a former prima ballerina diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease dancing to Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. First posted on Twitter on November 9, the short clip has already garnered more than 5.5 million views. It features former prima ballerina Marta C. González, who died in 2019, performing the moves that she recalls while sitting on her wheelchair. According to the post, she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and died after the disease that was even affecting her memory. 

However, what moved internet users was that despite the adversities created by the disease, Marta can be seen forming an immediate connection with the music in the same manner as she danced on stage at New York City Ballet. The netizens closely noted the similarity between the steps she performed from her wheelchair and the stage performance and were seen ‘highly impressed’ by the same. The netizens overwhelmingly agreed that the connection between an individual and music once formed, is eternal. Watch:
