The Trisole S0490L is a multi-articulating jazz shoe that moves with a dancer’s foot across a full range of movement. The
elasticized inserts provide a firm and flexible fit, while the articulating forefoot allow this shoe to curl and flex with the
toes.

This is what Vanessa here at Centerstage has to say about the shoes:
“I tried on the trisole jazz shoe and liked the way it made my foot feel secure. The way the arch is formed, with a kind of scrunchy elastic feel, gives the shoe a more snug fit than other soft jazz shoes that I’ve worn.” $36.50

Here’s a performance of 3 time Salsa World Champions Abel Pena and Zulmara Torres in a performance here in Seattle

Enjoy!

Over the last few years, Salsa has become a full-blown dance craze, and there is a lot going on right here in Seattle. You can in fact go salsa dancing almost every night of the week. But what if you don’t know how to salsa dance or perhaps lack the confidence to break out on the dance floor? Well, that’s where instructors like Jim Chow come in.

To Jim, Salsa is more than just dance moves. It is playful, dramatic, sensual and flirtatious. Jim was introduced to Salsa
in 1999, and within a short period of time, he was addicted and was dancing at the professional level. His background as a successful national artist and Kung Fu master helps him to correctly identify body movement and body language, and he is exceptional at sharing with his students accurate cues and directions for better footwork, patterns and styling.

In addition to offering regular classes, Jim has contributed a lot to the Salsa community by creating exciting opportunities for his students to expand and showcase what they have learned within an intimate competition setting, and he also organizes dance “field trips” both locally and not-so-locally through the Salsa Meetup, which is a resource open to the general public for dancers to socialize and make friends in salsa. It’s all about great people, great community and great dancing!

Centerstage is proud to announce that on September 1, 2008, we will be holding a drawing for a $60 certificate for a 5-week series with Jim Chow.

We are now stocking a new pointe shoe by Bloch. The Amelie Soft (formerly Protégée Soft) is an introductory pointe shoe, designed with a graded shank and wide platform that helps support the foot and ankle of a student new to pointe work. The Amelie Soft S0102 also features a softer insole that allows the foot to work more easily in the shoe.

This pointe shoe has a lower profile than some of the other Bloch styles, and it also has elastic drawstrings for a more contoured fit.
