In this episode, Morana speaks with Vienna-based frame up teacher Daria (Dasha) Gendina. Daria shares her journey from 15 years of competitive figure skating to becoming a frame up teacher in Vienna. She talks about how her sports background shaped her movement style, her path through training and teaching, and what it took to build a frame up community from scratch in a new city.

The conversation covers her approach to teaching beginners, combining acrobatics, flow, and ballet-inspired details, as well as her views on consistency, filming as part of the learning process, and developing an individual style. Daria also reflects on competitions, student progress, and her plans to continue growing frame up in Austria.
