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.

Feeling Uncomfortable In Dance Class? Try This | Ep 111
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I share a class exercise we do every so often and why it has become one of my favorite ways to measure growth. The first time you do something, it can feel overwhelming. The second time, you have a reference point. The third time, you start to see progress. And before you know it, the thing that once felt scary starts to feel familiar.
We talk about how to pull from your real life and use familiar experiences to navigate new ones. We also dive into the power of repetition and why doing something more than once is often the key to building confidence.
If you have the opportunity to repeat an experience, take it. If you don't, create the opportunity yourself.
Put it on your calendar. Make it a tradition. Give yourself a marker in time to come back to it.
Because every time you return, you're not starting over. You're building familiarity.
And familiarity has a way of replacing fear, discomfort, and uncertainty with confidence, trust, and momentum.
Sometimes the thing you're missing isn't talent.
It's another rep.
