Eurythmy

Eurythmy is an expressive movement art originated by Rudolf Steiner in conjunction with his wife, Marie, in the early 20th century. Primarily a performance art, it is also used in education, especially in Waldorf schools, and – as part of anthroposophic medicine – for claimed therapeutic purposes.

For the movement art founded by Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, see Dalcroze eurhythmics. For the British musical group, see Eurythmics.
