About The School
The Community
Setting - Twenty-five miles northwest of New York City, on
140 acres of land, the School of Eurythmy has its
home, along with many other activities inspired by Rudolf
Steiner’s work. Among them are the Threefold
Educational Foundation, Sunbridge College, Green Meadow
Waldorf School, The Fellowship Community, and the Hungry Hollow Coop. The "Threefold
Community" has a busy calendar that brings in people
from many continents and countries to participate in
courses in the arts, sciences and education. Proximity to
New York City offers those studying with us an
opportunity to experience some of the finest artists
working in other performing arts disciplines, not to
mention a resource to the visual arts provided by museums
with some of the most extensive collections in the world,
ancient to modern.

The
Training - The School of Eurythmy offers a complete
basic training, which can be taken on a full-time
basis, recognized by the Association of Eurythmy
Trainings in Dornach, Switzerland. In addition, the
School offers an artistic year open to anyone interested in an intensive
experience of eurythmy. We also have a part-time option for
training called our Frontier
Eurythmy Course, which has structured intensive weeks
throughout the year in Spring Valley, and a corresponding home
curriculum under the guidance of a mentor
between training sessions. On the post-graduate
level, we offer a course that focused on further artistic
development for diplomaed eurythmists.
Our History:
In the early 1970’s Lisa
Monges, who studied in Stuttgart, Germany and
Dornach, Switzerland, founded Spring Valley’s
eurythmy training. For the better part of a decade
the School was guided by a number of devoted
teachers, both from America and Europe. Dorothea Mier
became the Artistic Director of the School in 1980, developing the
school until her recent retirement, when Barbara Schneider-Serio
took over. The school is now carried by a faculty
circle which includes Barbara Schneider-Serio, Christina Beck,
Jennifer Kleinbach and Beth Dunn-Fox.
Just like the country we live in,
the School has a character of rich diversity in its
international roster of students and in the areas of
focus and research within our faculty. We seek to
provide a strong mixture of working deeply into the
special nature and qualities of the English Language,
while also becoming fully acquainted with all realms
and elements of music. ~~
