Flashwaltz

View sent us this "flashwaltz." It's the Waltz of the Flowers, from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. Music sometimes has an unexpected effect on me and by the end of the video I had dissolved in tears. Thank you, View, I love this particular piece, now more than ever.



Forty students from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance took a classical approach to the flashmob as they flashwaltzed Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers at the new Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower in Jerusalem. Doctors, patients and passers-by joined in the fun.

The Academy students enjoyed the day so much that they have decided to schedule regular concerts at the hospital. Hadassah Medical organization treats over one million patients annually, without regard to race, religion or national origin.
