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.

More Than Dance
How I Met The Love of My Life Through Dance | Ep 57
This is the first episode where I talk about dance the least but this is the most "More than Dance" episode because dance and my studio are the reasons why I was lead to my Joshy! This episode is all about my story with Josh and the era I call my bomb-ass-b*tch era I was "doing me,” I talk about how I got really honest with myself about what I actually wanted and how that pushed me into a totally different level of confidence, standards, and self trust.
I share how I started creating real parameters in my dating life, and switched up what those parameters looked like. I got stricter about the quality of the person, the character, the emotional maturity, the way they showed up for me… and then I got more open about the things that I thought mattered and proved to NOT actually matter as much, like age, distance, and all the “rules” I swore I needed to follow.
Dating tricks you into thinking you know exactly what’s good for you, choosing from your comfort zone instead of choosing from your future.
There’s a comfort zone outside your comfort zone that’s waiting for you to get comfortable in it. And that comfort zone might come in a package, an age gap, a timing, or a situation you never pictured for yourself.
This episode really leans into what you can control versus what you absolutely cannot.
Your standards, your self-worth, your healing, and your openness vs. timing.... because timing is divine.
