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.

Journaling Without Rules In 2026 | Ep 68
This episode is for you if you’ve tried journaling and found it intimidating or hard to keep up with…
If you don't currently have a journal practice..
If you love making lists…
Or if you wish to have some moments of reflection at the end of the year.
In this episode, I completely rewrite what journaling gets to look like.
I share my own journaling journey and how it never looked like the perfect “Dear Diary” (Britney Spears) place. I recount how journaling first took place in my life and how it evolved.. the first notebook my teacher gave me with a handwritten note inside, to passing notebooks around with friends, to quotes, lists, colors, markers. Realizing that I was journaling before I even called it that.
We talk about:
• Why journaling doesn’t have to look one way
• How lists, colors, doodles, and even rereading old notes count
• How expression on paper mirrors improvisation on the dance floor
• Using journaling to get thoughts out of your head so they stop looping
• Why “boring” lives still hold powerful material when written down
I also share how pulling a card from my favorite deck has become part of my practice ... so stay with me toward the end for a little intuitive moment together.
And finally, we zoom out and talk about progress as journaling, including how our studio showcase videos and watching yourself grow over time is in fact, a form of journaling.
This episode is about making journaling easier, more playful, more expressive, and more you.
Another way to learn about yourself without rules and without pressure.
