More Than Dance
Dance. Mindset. Motivation.
More Than Dance is where real life meets the dance floor.
Hosted by Krissy Phillipino, a dancer, choreographer, and studio owner with over 30 years in the industry. This podcast dives into the mindset reframes and quiet magic that take shape in the choreography, inside the studio, and through the work of showing up for yourself over and over.
Expect episodes packed with storytelling, dance wisdom, raw truths, and the kind of pep talks you didn’t know you needed.
This isn’t just about dance.
It’s about who you become when you let yourself go all in, even through the ugly stages, the moments when nothing feels like it’s clicking yet, and the times when you question yourself.
From confidence and self worth to mindset shifts and breakthroughs More Than Dance is where movement meets transformation.
Whether you're a seasoned dancer, brand new to movement, or simply someone who craves personal growth and deep, honest conversations, this space is for you.
Because this was never just about dance.
It’s about who you become while dancing.
It’s more than dance.

Letting Go of Expectations Without Letting Go of Hope | Ep 11
Sometimes we think we don't have expectations... and then we find ourselves disappointed and don’t know why because the expectation was quiet, hidden, unspoken. It was still there all along despite our best efforts to not have expectations.
This episode is the realization that to control it all is impossible. and that our "Suffering exists because of unfulfilled expectations." - (A buddhist philopsophy)
This episode dives into expectations and how they get the best of you.
I help you manage your expectations and how to give yourself more control and live with less disappointment with these 5 techniques:
- Make every experience a "new experience" so there are no comparisons to previous experiences
- Be in control of your experience and what you CAN actually control
- Creating a standard to live by in situations when things start taking a turn into the unexpected. This puts the control back in your corner.
- Accepting the outcome when it "sucks" and hold a space for it and then move on.
- Be ready for surprises - (a complete release of control)
Expectations are your future control disguised as hope.
Once we learn to release these expectations we get better outcomes and are able to live in more happiness.
