Untitled

Hello from John, the writer of this article.

The reason this page is significant and should not be deleted:

It describes an established school that has been in existence for over 20 years and is the only English language eurythmy school on the eurythmy Wikipedia page subheading "eurythmy training centers" that does not have a link (because it does not have a website to link to). It is no less important than the other trainings named in the "Eurythmy" Wikipedia page and deserves elucidation as much as the others do.

Notability

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 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 oppose the proposed deletion of this article. --EPadmirateur (talk) 16:06, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
