Gillian Lynne never did well in school as a child. She couldn't sit for long and often found herself moving restlessly （不安的）. Her mother was quite worried about her. She took Lynne to a doctor. For 20 minutes, she talked about the problems Lynne was having in school. Then, the doctor said to Lynne, "I need to speak to your mother first. Wait here. "
As they left the room, the doctor turned on the radio. He then said to Lynne's mother, "Just stand and watch her. " As soon as they left the room, Lynne was on her feet, dancing to the music on the radio.
The doctor then turned to Lynne's mother and said, "Mrs Lynne, your daughter isn't sick. She's a dancer. Take her to a dance school. "
So she did. Lynne's new dance school was full of people just like her—people who had to move in order to think. Lynne later went to the Royal Ballet School（皇家芭蕾学校）, one of the world's greatest dance schools, and became a great dancer.
After leaving the school, she worked on some of the most successful musicals in history, such as Cats and Phantom of the Opera（歌剧魅影）. It is hard to believe that years ago, somebody else would just put her on medication （药物治疗） and tell her to calm down.
