Choreographing Confidence With Chloe Van Bavel

PerformHappy with Rebecca Smith

This week on the PerformHappy podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome Chloe Van Bavel, a former Dutch elite gymnast turned professional choreographer with an impressive background in ballet, modern dance, social work, and sports psychology. Chloe brings a unique perspective to the gymnastics world, helping athletes shine from the inside out.
In our conversation, Chloe shares how she builds confidence, creativity, and joy through the art of choreography. Whether you're a gymnast who thrives on performance or a "robo gymnast" who feels self-conscious about dancing, Chloe’s approach blends artistry and athleticism in a way that helps every athlete feel capable and confident in their routines.
Join us as we explore her innovative methods for teaching gymnasts how to connect with their movements, express themselves authentically, and truly enjoy the process.
