The Northwest Chapter of the Dalcroze Society of America is a community of people in the Pacific Northwest interested in the educational principles of Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. Its aim is to promote interest, knowledge and training in Dalcroze Eurythmics.

To this end, the Chapter sponsors three workshops during the academic year, featuring guest teachers who bring their unique presentations of the Dalcroze approach.

The Chapter also sponsors, along with the University of Washington, two weeks of intensive study in Eurhythmics, Solfege, and Improvisation - the full Dalcroze curriculum - which can lead to the Dalcroze Certificate.

Lifelong learning was a tenet of Emile Jaques-Dalcroze's teaching. His Eurhythmics method was designed to improve mental acuity and physical agility, to increase the playful and the spontaneous in our music and in our lives. He emphasized learning as a social activity.
