This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

The Seales (P) took dance lessons at the Bates Dance Studio (D). P was forced to continue the lessons at the Dale Studio when D assigned the fully-paid contracts to Dale. P took the lessons at the Dale Studio and became dissatisfied. P sought to rescind the contract and demanded restitution of their money. Dale stood ready to perform. P argued that the contract was for D's personal services and that the assignment to Dale was a breach of contract. The trial court dismissed P's complaint; P had accepted the assignment, and the grounds for which P was dissatisfied did not constitute a breach of contract by D or Dale. P appealed.
