If you havent seen this brilliant TED talk about education and the way kids learn, Im thrilled to have the honor of introducing you. This link will take you directly to the last part of the talk that tells a beautiful story about a girl who needed to move to think and the famous woman she has become today likely because this need to move was met. Her mother was concerned about her schoolwork and poor attention so she took her to the doctor and the doctor watched the girl move and as Sir Ken tells it, the doctor turned to her mother and said, “Mrs. Lynne, Gillian isn’t sick; she’s a dancer. Take her to a dance school.” I said, “What happened?” She said, “She did. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was. We walked in this room and it was full of people like me, people who couldn’t sit still. People who had to move to think.” Who had to move to think. They did ballet, they did tap, they did jazz, they did modern, they did contemporary. She was eventually auditioned for the Royal Ballet School, she became a soloist, she had a wonderful career at the Royal Ballet, she eventually graduated from the Royal Ballet School and founded her own company, the Gillian Lynne Dance Company, and met Andrew Lloyd Weber. She’s been responsible for some of the most successful musical theater pro ductions in history, she’s given pleasure to millions, and she’s a multimillionaire. Somebody else might have put her on medication and told her to calm down. Move, play, be mindful, my dear FB friends! youtu.be/iG9CE55wbtY?t=15m18s
