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.

How Dance Shapes Who You Become | Ep 133
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode is a little trip down memory lane and about knowing that dance is something that lives within you.
I talk about going back to my old studio for the alumni show, being part of the recital again, and getting to think about all of the people and experiences that helped shape me as a dancer and as a person.
I even got to learn about my former dance teacher and her studio, which made me think about how far back some of these connections go and how cool it is to see where parts of you came from.
Because dance shapes us and then helps us become who we are.
Yes, it's turns and technique and learning how to dance, but it's also friendships, resilience, confidence, showing up, learning, and realizing that you can do things you didn't know you could do.
This episode is an invitation to think about the people who helped shape you, just like going back had me thinking about the teachers and people who shaped me.
And really, what is dance going to look like throughout your life?
Because it doesn't necessarily leave you when you leave the studio. The things you learned, the confidence you built, the people you met, and the experiences you had come with you.
Dance becomes part of your life and then enhances the way you live it.
