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.

How To Select The Best Teacher For You | Ep 92
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Make the most out of your learning experience by selecting the best teacher. We brief on the dance rollercoaster. The only way to get better is to go on the rollercoaster and its best if you have the best support around you.
It feels vulnerable to learn and we want to learn so much, but sometimes we just want to learn faster than our capabilities.
Great teachers do this:
- providing a safe space for students to learn
- name the language and then say what it means
- knowing your student's learning style and conversing to them in that language.
- Using tools and the timing of removal
- following a procedure for teaching (executing a lesson)
Really great teaching means being more patient than the student!
I give some questions that can help you be reassured you are in the right space to learn and go over the responsibilities of the teacher and of the student to make a beautiful symbiotic relationship for best growth.
