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.

Word Shift Series: You and Your Excuses: Old, Fat, Not Sexy | Ep 54
This episode is about one of my least favorite phrases: “I’m too old.” and some other common excuses I hear at the studio: “I’m too old to dance,” “too out of shape,” “too young to start that.” These stories keep us small.
I share how I once thought I was too young to open a dance studio because I pictured only older people doing that.
We talk about where these limits come from, why we hold onto them, and how they show up in sneaky ways, especially when it comes to movement, expression, and doing something brave. You’ll hear how the very things we call “too hard now” are often what keep us younger, stronger, and more alive.
I also share how we can reframe “I’m old” into something powerful: a commitment to move, create, and lead anyway.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever said “I can’t” when what they really meant was “I’m scared.” Let’s shift that story together and prove to yourself what’s still possible.
