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.

Why You Should Prioritize Endurance As A Beginner Dancer | Ep 94
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode is all about endurance. I tell the story about when I first learned about the difference between endurance and cardio.
Endurance is:
⭐️ finding strength inside the movement
⭐️ being able to breathe through it
⭐️ staying present even when it gets hard
We often treat dance endurance like cardio… constant movement, pushing through, trying not to stop.
When you change the way you see endurance you become a better dancer. Endurance gives you the space to live in the technique and to execute what you know.
In this episode, we talk about:
• the difference between cardio and true endurance
• why harder choreography can actually break endurance faster
• how mistakes show up more when you’re disconnected
• how strength and breath help you stay grounded in movement
Endurance is a secret tool that great dancers have!
