Eurhythmics (literally: “good rhythms”) is an existing form of movement therapy that originated in Europe in the late 19th century, which aims to study the rhythmic underpinning of music through movement (it is of course also where pop band The Eurythmics got their name from).

In its early years, the more philosophical aspects of Eurhythmics were not always properly recognised, which often led to classes that were, according to one author, “little more than ‘the place were the rich girls from the village went to learn dancing’”, which of course ties in neatly with the Quirm College for Young Girls.

Note that Miss Butts’ co-founder of the College is Miss Delcross, and that the Eurhythmics method was created by the Swiss composer Emile Jaques-Dalcroze.
