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 Ultimate Guide to Practicing Dance at Home | Ep 51
Practicing at home can feel messy, frustrating, or even overwhelming. In this episode, I break down a step-by-step approach to making the most of your solo practice and turning your space into a real training ground.
You’ll learn how to
- Find your space: understand your surroundings, your space, your floor and the level at which you can safely and effectively practice, so you can move freely without holding back.
- Know what to practice: from building strength to breaking down micro-skills and macro-skills, and how to consult your instructor to create a focused, disciplined routine.
- Set your frequency and commitment: create consistent habits, find the right level of resistance, and use each beat or movement to reinforce your skills.
- Layer in performance elements: alignment, elongating your body without overextending, facial expression, audience connection, coordination, and analyzing yourself on video to see what’s really happening in your movement.
I also share why it’s crucial to get comfortable being in the mess, the awkward, imperfect, messy moments at home are where growth happens.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear blueprint for practicing smarter, building real skills, and making your home practice feel intentional, effective, and even fun.
