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.

The Word Shift Series: TRY: Why Trying Keeps You From Doing | Ep 47
When you use the word “try,” you’re giving yourself an out. It sounds like commitment, but it’s really hesitation in disguise.
“Try” helps you avoid failure. It gives you permission to play it safe.
It also keeps you from going all in and from learning what you’re actually capable of.
Most of the time, try comes from fear of failure, fear of success, or fear of what it means if you really do it.
It’s a soft no. It’s a question mark. It says maybe when what you actually mean is yes or no.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
⭐️ The difference between “trying” and committing
⭐️ How “try” masks fear and uncertainty
⭐️ What it means to replace “I’ll try” with “I will” or “I won’t”
⭐️ How showing up without leeway builds confidence and integrity
I share a few real moments where I went into something with try energy hesitant, unsure, already doubting myself. My body didn’t believe me. When I shifted into do energy, I was grounded, focused, and fully in.
Once you take this word out of your vocabulary, everything changes because now, you’re not half in. You’re all in.
