The word Eurythmy means “beautiful or harmonious movement” and  is a unique experience to the Waldorf curriculum. Developed early in the last century by Rudolf Steiner, eurythmy is neither dance nor mime, but rather uses the body as an instrument in space. The air is the medium in which eurythmists make forms and gestures much as a sculptor uses wood or stone. Attempting to sing and speak through movement, students “sound” in space, bringing the life and color of music and poetry to vivid expression.  Eurythmy helps students to develop concentration, self-discipline, and a sense of beauty, strengthening a healthy foundation for bodily movement, spatial relationships and social development. Eurythmy lessons follow the themes of the curriculum from Kindergarten through Grade Eight, and explore rhyme, meter, story, geometric forms and musical elements.
