Eurhythmics is the basis of Education. By the physical experience of rhythm it develops concentration, encourages spontaneity, gives mental and muscular equilibrium, and leads the child or adolescent to a healthy and stimulating self-knowledge. The acquisition of this self-knowledge makes possible immediate physical response to any mental stimulus, and equips the individual to fight against all those intellectual and physical hindrances which prevent the harmonisation of his imaginative and creative faculties. Thus, according to the Greek interpretation of music, Eurhythmic education is musical education.

The Institut Jaques-Dalcroze provides :

A. A complete training in Dalcroze Eurhythmics preparatory to the Teaching Certificate or Diploma.

B. Classes for amateurs (Adults and Children) in :

1. Rhythmic Movement.

2. Plastic Expression.
