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.

Why Dance Is One of The Greatest Gifts You Can Give Yourself | Ep 66
This episode is a reminder to slow down and remember what a gift dance really is.
We talk about gifts in all forms the obvious ones, the unexpected ones, and the quiet ones we forget to name. The gift of being able to move. The gift of returning to dance. The gift of music. The gift of your body showing up for you today. And the deeper idea that you are the gift, whether or not you fully believe that yet.
I explore how dance helps shift imposter syndrome, builds gratitude for the body you’re in, and reminds you that showing up matters more than expectations. When you dance with gratitude instead of pressure, you experience more connection, more joy, and a completely different class.
We also talk about how dance gives more than we can always see, confidence, perspective, resilience, creativity, and the ability to pivot when life changes. Dance creates memories, keeps us present in this moment in time, and gives us a place to return to ourselves again and again.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, hard on your body, or forgetting why you dance in the first place, this episode is an invitation to remember.
Show up with gratitude. Let go of expectation. And allow dance to give you more than you knew you needed.
