A bit of culture for you!!

If you like Tchaikovsky, you will really love this.

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 surprise concert was part of Good Deeds Day,

 an annual event that  originated in Israel in 2007 

and now takes place in over 50 countries worldwide. 

On this day volunteers reach out to the less fortunate and the vulnerable.

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.

I liked the older couple dancing to the music
 as well as that little girl in the wheel chair.
 Absolutely precious
