Why Purpose Engage life as play. Play is defined as imaginative interaction. Play is an attitude rather than an activity. Emphasize process over performance. What Principles Swing In the midst of life filled with multiple options, discover connections. For dance, incorporate different styles. Street In the midst of life defined by change increasing exponentially, look beyond technical solutions to adaptive solutions. For dance, employ improvisation. Partner In the midst of life characterized by changing roles, recognize interdependence and influence the interaction. For dance, engage in greater mutuality. Dance In the midst of life bombarded with competing messages, tune into the rhythms of life and interpret accordingly. For dance, listen to the music to guide you on what to do. How Practice Arthur Murray meets Contra Folk in the Google Age. Arthur Murray – Stride and glide through life centered and collected. Contra Folk – Embrace natural rhythms of life. Yin and Yang Circle of existence Life as a journey Google Age – Intuitive Live your life with imagination and improvisation. Recapture the spirit of Jazz Dance in the Ragtime Era for the Google Age. *Adaptation of Simon Sinek - The Golden Circle - TedTalks 2009 - YouTube Prose Poetry 18 Polish Polka footloose I was clowning around with a Polish girl to Polish polka music at Oktoberfest - dancing around the tent poles and against the line of dance on an open floor among other such foolishness. -

Signature: Date: Town Cape of University Abstract At face value, The Seed Thief is a contemporary quest story. Maddy Bellani, a botanist with the Millennium Seed Bank in Cape Town, is sent on the trail of an African plant thought to be extinct on the continent, and believed to be growing in Brazil. Maddy is a reluctant heroine, a botanist of many places but no home, who responds to the call because she believes it might help her put some of her unsettledness to rest. But when she finds herself in a place that shakes her preconceptions to the core, the myths she has constructed to prop up her life and sense of self come crashing down around her. -
