Alzheimer’s is one such disease that many of us dread to become victims to.
The common but debilitating symptoms include changes in memory, thinking, behaviour, emotions and your overall personality.
A video showing a former ballerina artist suffering from Alzheimer’s and remembering her dance moves after listening to music is truly profound.
The lady in the video is Marta C Gonzalez who passed away in 2019.
One can see Marta sitting in a wheelchair at a care home in Valencia and her caregiver makes her listen to Tschaikovsky's Swan Lake.
Observe her reaction after she listens to the music…
Break out the tissues.
