Lyssa Wopat, M.S., CMPC – Performentality, LLC
Lyssa Wopat is Certified Mental Performance Consultant® for dancers and performers through her company, Performentality, LLC.
As a former professional dancer who also went to college for dance at The University of North Carolina School for the Arts, Lyssa has a profound understanding of the demands and inner workings of the dance world. Today, Lyssa combines this knowledge with her background, education and training in Sport and Performance Psychology and mental skills training for dancers.
As a Certified Mental Performance Consultant®, Lyssa helps dancers to optimize their performance, mindset, enjoyment/satisfaction, and well-being through mental skills training. Mental skills can range from things like goal setting, to self-talk, to visualization, and more!
Dancers tend to train their physicality and technique tirelessly, but many of us are missing a crucial aspect of our training—training our minds. In order to dance to your potential and enjoy it, mental skills training can be paramount, and it is never too late to start!
Lyssa does much of her work virtually, offering 1-to-1 sessions and group workshops via Zoom. However, Lyssa also offers workshops in-person at studios, schools and companies.
