According to the studio, it was founded in 2019 by Ailyn García, who trained as a principal dancer with Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba, toured internationally, and established a dance company in the Canary Islands before moving to Miami. The academy offers group classes, private lessons, an after-school program, and a summer camp. The studio features spacious dance floors, excellent lighting, mirrors, and a waiting area for parents. Instructors include Ailyn García, Michi, Agustina, and Julio. Reviewers describe the teachers' technical expertise and dedication to students' growth. The academy holds an annual end-of-year show called Beyond the Stars, with the 2025–2026 production scheduled for June 13 at 4:30 pm at Roca Theater.
