A touching video showing a former ballet dancer afflicted with memory loss gracefully dancing as she hears the music from Tchaikovsky’s ballet Swan Lake has gone viral worldwide.
The moment was shared by the Asociacion Musica para Despertar — a Spanish charity which uses the music from dementia patients’ lives to improve their mood and memory.
In the video, Ms Gonzalez listens to the music through a pair of headphones. She can be seen replicating the choreography she knew from her time as a ballerina in the 1960s.
The video is undoubtedly moving and uplifting, and it speaks to the power of music and dance for those suffering from memory loss.
