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 You Get The Dance Calling | EP 127

This episode is all about listening to the dance calling.
Sometimes the biggest thing standing in your way isn't your own excuse. It's someone else's. It's the fear of what your parents might think, what your friends might say, or whether the people around you will support you dancing in heels or doing something that feels completely outside of who they've always known you to be.
I share my own experience growing up in a Catholic household and the conflicting feelings I had around dancing, femininity, and the work I do today. Whether those messages were spoken directly or picked up indirectly, they were still loud enough to make me question myself.
We talk about what real support actually looks like. The people who truly support you don't immediately tell you why you shouldn't do something. They get curious. They ask what you love about it. They want to understand why you're being called toward it.
I also talk about how it's okay to protect something while it's still new. If starting heels feels vulnerable, you don't have to tell everyone you're doing it. Sometimes it's enough to let it be yours until you feel strong enough to share it.
This episode is about learning to quiet the noise, trust the calling, and remember that if something keeps pulling at you, there's probably a reason. Sometimes that calling is simply the next version of yourself asking to be explored.
