It is perhaps helpful to be reminded of the reasons Rudolf Steiner determined eurythmy was to play such a central role in the new approach to education that he was unfolding 100 years ago. As a movement art, eurythmy not only trains the physical body (as do sport or gymnastics), it involves the feeling life (as does dance), it brings a class into social activity as children negotiate each other in space and time, it engages with the elements of language (vowels consonants, grammar) and literature (through poetry, story, text) and similarly with the elements of music (rhythm, beat, pitch, harmony, dynamics). Furthermore, it takes geometry and numbers into a spatial, experiential dimension, and can also provide an experience of the patterning underlying various biological or life processes such as growth, division, differentiation…. Given all of this, we can sense that eurythmy is a uniquely integrated – and integrating – subject able to substantially enhance the rounded development of each child. ​
