This week my social media was saturated with a <\/strong>beautiful video<\/strong><\/a> featuring a former prima ballerina in a wheelchair. In this viral clip Marta C. Gonz\u00e1lez Salda\u00f1a, who has Alzheimer\u2019s, was filmed listening to music from Tchaikovsky\u2019s Swan Lake<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remarkably, when Salda\u00f1a hears the music she is able to remember and relive the choreography of the ballet she once performed. Seated in her wheelchair at a senior residential facility in Spain, she moves her arms to the music with a look of pure joy on her face.<\/p>\n

Going viral <\/strong><\/p>\n

The video, which was shared by numerous celebrities, intersperses footage of Salda\u00f1a with a young ballerina dancing on a stage. Although their ease of movement is somewhat juxtaposed, both women display the same passion for dancing.<\/p>\n
