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.

Overthinking Is Killing Your Progress And How To Fix It | Ep 78
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode is about what happens when you overthink something so much that you don’t do it at all and how to break that pattern once and for all.
I share one of my favorite phrases: Get the F there.
Thinking isn’t the problem, thinking instead of doing is.
I talk about my gym story and how I’m building consistency by doing exercises I’d normally overthink, trusting that I’ll adapt and figure it out after I start. The same thing shows up everywhere, packing for a trip, starting a project, going to class, stepping onto the dance floor.
Dance teaches us this perfectly:
You don’t get better at dancing by thinking about dancing.
You get better by dancing.
We talk about fear, procrastination, and the lie your brain tells you to keep you comfortable. I share a post I love that says: Your brain lies to you constantly. What you avoid ends up controlling you.
This episode dives into:
• why overthinking is just fear in disguise
• how action gives you the answers you’re waiting for
• why momentum creates motivation (not the other way around)
• how micro successes build confidence over time
• choosing the “right” kind of suffering (the kind that moves you forward)
Everyone wants to feel confident, ready, and motivated before they begin and its really when you start doing that you begin to feel those feelings.
The person who practices being the dancer becomes the dancer.
The person who doesn’t… doesn’t.
