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.

When Your "AHA" Moment Disappears Do This | Ep 91
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever left class feeling amazing and like you understood something so well and then you go to the next class to try and apply that same knowledge only to realize that it felt stuck.
We are not the same dancer every day and our bodies are always changing too!
Sometimes you have those aha moments where everything makes sense, and it’s tempting to hold onto them and try to recreate them in the next class. And our body shows up differently every single day based on stress, energy, focus, everything.
So instead of forcing it… we learn how to meet ourselves where we are.
We talk about:
• why progress doesn’t feel linear
• how to check in with your body before class
• adjusting your focus based on the day you’re having
• noticing patterns without obsessing over them
When you grip too tightly to a breakthrough, that’s usually when you freeze your learning.
You don’t need to hold onto it.
Your body remembers.
This episode is about trusting that and learning how to move forward without needing it to look exactly like it did before.
