The 5 Rhythms were created by Gabrielle Roth in the 1960s. She was teaching movement classes and noticed five distinct patterns, which she eventually called the 5 Rhythms - flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, stillness. She still teaches classes on the 5 Rhythms in New York City to this day.

People have always danced. Originally we danced for worship and healing. Our ancestors viewed nature and all of its elements as an expression of God. To duplicate or mimic nature through movement and sounds was their first and highest way to connect with spirit, and I believe was the origin of dance.

In present times you can find spiritual dancing in every country in the world. There are dances based on animals and other natural things. People dance to alter their state of consciousness or become the spirit of the sun, moon, animal or plant.

I lost my "What if everyone's a different gender?" button at PDF so I figured a google search for the text might find me someone who sold the button. Little did I know that I would find an amazing button store with hundreds of cool buttons for at Nancy's buttons!

Some of my favorites are in the math and programming sections:

• "There are 10 kinds of people, those who are comfortable with binary, and those who aren't "
• " x^n + y^n = z^n has no integer solutions other than 0 for n>2 I have a wonderful proof, but it won't fit on a button"
• "One of the main causes of the decline of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs"

Also check out sections on Bush, religion, pagan, magic, logic and many more!
