Ballet dancer has people scratching their heads as they try to work out optical illusion

A dancer's movements in a viral clip has left people utterly perplexed, with opinions divided on which way she's turning. Optical illusions continue to captivate and spark debate across social media, largely because of how our individual brains interpret visual information differently.

In one particularly divisive video circulating online, onlookers see three ballerina figurines gracefully completing pirouettes—a renowned ballet move where the performer rotates on one foot.

However, the dancers seem to spin in opposing directions to each other. A question superimposed on the clip challenges the audience to discern if the central ballerina is spinning to the left or to the right.

Popular TikTok channel @mister_illusions shared this brain-teaser with its 2.9 million followers, causing an intense exchange of views in the comments section.
