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.

Going All In With Fear: Learn Faster, Fail Faster, And Grow Faster | Ep 29
This episode is all about the next level of courage, not just taking fear along for the ride, but cannonballing into the deep end with it. I share one of my favorite teaching analogies for my beginner dancers to help check their mindset: the difference between tiptoeing into the shallow end of a pool versus jumping in off the diving board. When you go all in, you learn faster, fail faster, and grow faster. I’ll talk about why waiting until you “feel ready” actually slows your progress, how performing as a kid versus performing as an adult shaped my view on commitment, and why the next version of your greatness is only unlocked when you’re willing to get wet faster.
