Dmytrenko was known for developing complex spins, using rarely used parts of his skate, including the heel. He also executed complicated patterns of footwork, connecting his moves with unexpected rhythm and changes of direction. He would often compose his own music for his programs and included distorted sound effects created with synthesizers.^[6]

Dmytrenko formerly coached Oleksii Bychenko. He is an International Technical Specialist.^[7]
