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.

The Con Art Of Dance | Ep 128
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As dancers, we're constantly creating illusions. We make people believe they saw something that didn't actually happen the way they think it did.
I talk about how we use angles to make ourselves look more flexible. How we speed something up and then slow something else down to create the illusion that there's more time in the music. How we shorten our limbs to make a movement fit the timing, while making it look much bigger than it actually was.
Dance is full of these little tricks that completely change what the audience sees.
This episode is about understanding that dance isn't always about doing everything perfect but rather meeting yourself where you are at. Or creating an ILlusion that you are “there”.
Once you understand the con art of dance, you'll start seeing choreography differently, performing differently, and appreciating just how much of dance is really about perception…. And naturally you’ll become a better dancer !
