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 Big Results | Ep 82
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Big change rarely starts big.
In this episode, I talk about rebuilding momentum through the smallest possible steps and how lowering the bar actually helped me move forward again after returning to the gym following physical therapy.
My only rule was to show up.
No pressure to complete a full workout.
No expectation to do everything perfectly.
Even one exercise counted as a "day at the gym"
Doing this created discipline and that started creating motivation.
Micro commitments:
- reduce overwhelm
- expose the excuses
- help you rebuild trust with yourself.
I share how this applies directly to dance too: leaving class early if you need to, committing with a friend, or shrinking something that feels intimidating into something more approachable.
This episode explores how tiny habits compound over time, how consistency lowers resistance, and why the real celebration isn’t perfection or massive results…
It’s simply showing up.
If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, motivated, or confident before starting again, this episode is your reminder that momentum begins the moment you decide that small still counts.
