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.

Rest. Recovery. and Reflection | Ep 41
There’s a big difference between being lazy and knowing when to rest. Rest doesn’t mean regression it means recovery. And recovery is part of the work.
In this episode, I talk about how learning to hold back is actually a skill. Just like pushing through discomfort is a skill. Both change the way you show up.
I talk about:
- How to modify without shame, and why listening to your body builds longevity
- Recovery as a full process physically and mentally, so you can process, reflect, and reset
- Reflection questions: What did I bring into class that I didn’t want to? What did I release? What was worth celebrating?
- Practical recovery tools: heat pads, feet up, foam rolling, massage, journaling, voice notes
- Why preparation (sleep, food, hydration, posture) is the other half of recovery
- How rest teaches you to listen, adjust, and serve your body better
Recovery is not being broken. It’s about processing, restoring, and building the muscle of readiness. Learn the language of your body so you show up better.
