This is the touching moment when an elderly woman suffering from a rare brain disease slowly dances with her husband - for the first time in years. Constance Bartholomew, 69, has progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a neurological condition that makes walking difficult. The disease can lead to problems with balance, movement, vision, speech, and swallowing. Constance started physiotherapy - prompting husband Dennis to joke that he would pay a million pounds to dance with her again. Upon hearing this remark, rehab assistant Ralitsa Angelova - known as Rali - took it upon herself to make it happen.
