American Eurythmy School[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Appears to be a non-notable school. Article appears to lack adequate support, GHits of substance, and has only one news article that is essentially a announcement of a performance by school. ttonyb (talk) 17:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article has more than one sourced references. The American Eurythmy School is the second largest 4-year eurythmy training in North America, after Eurythmy Spring Valley. It has been in existence for 25 years and has numerous graduates of its program who are teaching in various Waldorf schools in the U.S. and Canada, and performing. Therefore it is notable.

Unfortunately the school also apparently shuns publicity: it has no web site and appears to recruit students solely by word of mouth. It also shuns association with the established pedagogical hierarchy at the Goetheanum and thus is rarely included in reports of worldwide eurythmy trainings or on other web sites. So demonstrating and documenting its notability is tricky: there is mention of the School here and there in news articles of performances by the School's eurythmists and there are quite a few mentions in listings of Waldorf faculty that a particular eurythmy teacher or other teacher received his/her training at the American Eurythmy School.

I don't think the lack of "hard" documentation diminishes the school's notability, however, and so I vote keep. --EPadmirateur (talk) 17:53, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep while eurythmy is barely known in US, it and its parent orgs, waldorf, anthroposophy, are a really big deal and part of germanys history and the history of alternative education in the west. i would keep articles on the top schools related to this movement, as long as at least one source can be found indicating the relative importance WITHIN this movement.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:57, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
