“Choreographing Your Mind: Mental Strategies for Competitions”
This seminar explores mental strategies and techniques that help dancers perform under competitive pressure—and in everyday life. Learn how to manage performance anxiety and develop a strong mindset with psychological tools specifically adapted for competitive WCS dancers. Topics include mental preparation, focus-building techniques, and strategies for maintaining emotional balance.
About Henri
My journey in dance began in 2017, driven by a lifelong passion for music. Despite having no prior dance background, I was captivated by the possibilities that West Coast Swing offers.
Alongside my exploration of WCS, I pursued a career in medicine, graduating as a general physician, while also dedicating over eight years to studying psychology—most recently including sports psychology. This dual expertise has given me a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, allowing me to approach dance from a more holistic perspective.
Beyond my medical career, I also serve as the team doctor for Special Olympics Finland. Through this role, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that movement and joy can have on individuals of all abilities.
