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.

Interruptions Part 2: Detours: How to Excel Through Life's Major Detours | Ep 33
This is part two of our Interruptions series, and today we’re diving into detours. The unexpected reroutes that can feel like setbacks and often end up shaping us in better ways.
On stage and in life, detours test our patience, and dancers know this: the show must go on. And sometimes, what feels like the wrong turn ends up being the divine one.
In this episode, I share:
- The different types of detours (physical, emotional, mental, and life pivots).
- The difference between a distraction and a true detour.
- A few of my biggest personal detours like how long it took me to find the right doctor.
- How detours in dance ie.. injuries, music cutting out, or a costume fail can spark creativity and growth and build character.
- The qualities detours help you practice: flexibility, surrender, and curiosity.
Detours may look like delays, and they’re often divine disruptions. They invite you to surrender, trust, and create something richer than what you originally planned.
