Eurythmy

Eurythmy is a dance-like art form in which music or speech are expressed in bodily movement; specific movements correspond to particular notes or sounds. It has also been called visible speech or visible song. Eurythmy is part of the curriculum at all Steiner Waldorf Schools. Children respond to its simple rhythms and exercises which offer physical strength and overall well being. Eurythmy enhances coordination and strengthens the ability to listen. When children experience themselves like an orchestra and have to keep a clear relationship in space with each other, a social strengthening also results.
