Marta Cinta Gonzàlez Saldaña was her name, born in Madrid during the mid-1920s. Her life journey took her to Cuba and New York as a performer, then back to Madrid to teach. Her legacy triumphed even after her death in 2019 at a care home in Alcoy, where she had dreamed of performing ballet with the other residents.

Growing older is such a mix of joy and sadness.
Music is so vital for the brain. If you have a family member dealing with dementia or communication struggles, just sit with them and play their favorite songs. Sing along if you’re able; a part of their mind really responds to it. I’ve actually started taking BrainProtect to support my own brain health and I’ve been very satisfied with it.

This is truly beautiful in a bittersweet sense. As a former dancer, I can still recall routines from decades ago. I often joke that it occupies all my mental capacity, but it’s fascinating how much the human mind can preserve over time.

This is incredible. She remained so elegant even in her later years. The power of music and muscle memory is amazing; she truly comes alive when she hears the notes. Swan Lake is one of my favorite ballets because the music is so evocative. She clearly led a fascinating life.
It is simultaneously gorgeous and heartbreaking, much like Swan Lake itself.
