Private lessons form the core of the program and are scheduled by appointment, with each session lasting 45 minutes and tailored to the student's individual goals and learning style. Most students book one to two private sessions per week. Group classes supplement the private work, providing a social setting to practice and meet other students, and are currently held on Thursday evenings.

The studio has been teaching people to dance for 11 years. It began by renting floor space for its first client and has grown steadily since. In October 2014, the school moved into its current location on Elton Street in Rochester's Neighborhood of the Arts district. The 2,200 square foot ballroom features a shining floating hardwood floor and wall to wall mirrors. The school is led by Jay Ruest, senior instructor and owner, who began ballroom dancing at 15 and started teaching full time in 2000. He opened his own Rochester dance studio in 2005 and has since competed in dozens of professional dance competitions, earning top awards in both professional and pro-am divisions. New students begin with a complimentary 30 minute introductory private lesson, scheduled by phone at 585-217-3572.

Lessons are held at 34 Elton Street.
