Capezio
Capezio is the trade name of Capezio Ballet Makers Inc., a manufacturer of dance shoes, apparel and accessories.
History
In 1887, Salvatore Capezio, an Italian cobbler emigrated to the United States, opened a shoe repair shop near the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. He began his business by repairing theatrical shoes for the Met, and transitioned from cobbler to shoemaker when he created pair of shoes for Polish tenor Jean de Reszke in an emergency. His shop soon became a meeting place for dancers who would stop by to discuss their needs and purchase his shoes.
Over time, his reputation grew and visiting dancers would often come to his shop to purchase shoes. One of those visitors, Anna Pavlova, purchased Capezio pointe shoes for herself and her entire company during her first tour of the United States in 1910, thereby helping Capezio establish wide public visibility.
From 1940 Ben Sommers was president of the company until his death in 1985. He used his position to promote and support dance and performance art, establishing events such as National Dance Week in 1978 and in 1957, the Capezio Dance Award. Under Sommers's tenure, in 1941, Lord & Taylor, Neiman-Marcus, and other stores began to market and distribute Capezio footwear.

La Cantaleta
by: CabasY ahora que vas hacer
que para donde vas
que si tomas mas
con quien has salido,
Que porque no llegue
que llegue tarde ayer
que ya no se me ve
si no es amanecido,
Con ese repicar
me voy a trabajar
y todo es un suplicio
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido,
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido, RUIDO!
Y ahora que vas hacer
que para donde vas
que si tomas mas
con quien has salido,
Que porque no llegue
que llegue tarde ayer
que ya no se me ve
si no es amanecido,
Con ese repicar
me voy a trabajar
y todo es un suplicio
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido,
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido.

Hay me tiene loco loco todo el dia, con esa cantaleta
Y aquien le va a gustar la casa, con esa fiera suelta,
Y aquien le va a gustar la casa, con esa fiera suelta,
Hay me tiene loco todo el dia, con esa cantaleta
Hay me tiene loco loco todo el dia, con esa cantaleta,
Y aquien le va a gustar la casa, con esa fiera suelta,
Y aquien le va a gustar la casa, con esa fiera suelta,
Hay me tiene loco loco todo el dia, con esa cantaleta,
Hay me tiene loco todo el dia, con esa cantaleta,
Y aquien le va a gustar la casa, con esa fiera suelta,
Y aquien le va a gustar la casa, con esa fiera suelta,
