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.

Making Mistakes Without Beating Yourself Up And Learning From The Information | Ep 58
The weirdest thing that ever happened in my 8 years of DJing happened during a wedding and I was shook. If you're anything like me, you beat yourself up when things don't go according to plan .. and this night, the plan was not this. It was a moment of pure curiosity.
I see this come up the most in dance when people make mistakes. We know its not right, we beat ourselves up, we wonder and we overthink and that leads us to the potential of making more mistakes.
Have you ever heard the phrase "fall down seven times, get up 8" or " fail forward" or " its not how many times you fall its how many times you get back up"
In dance, we use improvisation as a tool to rebound from your mistakes with ease.
In this episode learn:
- about how to treat yourself through a mistake.
- how mistakes can be the best information for you to learn. (you arent supposed to know everything)
- build resilience towards making mistakes
- recovering from mistake is just as beautiful as the routine
- mistakes = data
- How being a dancer is being a problem solver
Its not about never making a mistake, its about moving through it and learning from it.
