At 17, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, near the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. His shop soon became a hub for dancers who sought his shoes.

As Capezio’s reputation grew, dancers worldwide visited his shop to purchase his footwear. Salvatore Capezio’s innovative products and rapport with dancers shaped the company’s direction. The Capezio brand emerged to celebrate dance achievements and participation.
