Supported by Talented & Experienced Teachers
Daria
Daria founded StepUpFree because she believes heels were never just about the shoes — they're a way back into a part of yourself you'd stopped showing anyone. Trained by internationally renowned choreographers including Malou Linders, Fraules, and Kristina Golubkina, she teaches High Heels as something closer to therapy than technique: a room where women set down whoever they have to be everywhere else, and try on someone bolder instead. In class she's demanding but never cold — she notices who's holding back and won't let anyone disappear into the back row. Every block ends with a real video shoot — full glam, real choreography, a crew — because Daria believes the version of you that shows up on camera deserves to exist outside the studio too.
