Capezio’s line Future Star has come out with some really sweet mary jane tap shoes, and I mean sweet literally. They are Jelly Taps, and the translucent PVC upper is injected with glitter and bubble gum aroma. They come in sparkly pink and sparkly black. These make a fun alternative to the classic patent mary jane tap shoes. Both colors are available at Centerstage and are 10% off during the month of January.

We will be closed on New Year’s Day. We will be open for regular store hours starting January 2.
