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 Secret to Consistency: Toggling Your Intensity Instead of Burning Out | Ep 61
This episode is about the skill nobody talks about when it comes to consistency: learning how to toggle your intensity level.
Most people think consistency means going hard, full-out, all the time… and then they wonder why they burn out and disappear for weeks.
In this episode, I break down how I teach my dancers (and myself) to stay consistent without destroying your nervous system or your joy. Naturally, I make comparisons to the dance floor in terms of going "full out" and "marking it"
Step 1 :Understanding your stamina gap.
Where you think you’re at vs. what your body can actually sustain long-term.
Step 2 : Knowing your season.
Are you in a push season, a maintenance season, a healing season, or a build season?
Your intensity should match your life, not fight against it.
Step 3: Understanding your energy
Where are you giving?
Where are you taking?
Where are you over performing or under-supporting yourself?
Step 4: Ditching the perfection fantasy.
Perfection doesn’t exist.
Consistencyis the closest thing to perfection you’ll ever get.
it’s the delayed onset, magical success that compounds from showing up, even at 40%.
We talk about staying out of all-or-nothing thinking, why comparison creeps in even when you “know better,” and how smaller results are actually the foundation of the bigger ones.
If you’re tired of burning out, disappearing, and starting over… this episode is your reset.
