Wons Toms Shoes Glitter ,Century Ballroom,Century BallroomCentury Ballroom1 (or, more simply, the Century) is a bination dance hall, supper club, and cafe located on the second floor of the Odd Fellows Temple building at 915 E. Pine in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Although the food served in the tiny cafe is delicious, and the ballroom has enough drawing power to attrt higher profile ts (like the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and folk singer Christine Lavin) than is standard club fare, the Century is primarily a dancing venue. The ballrooom is ho to one of the largest dance floors in the city and hosts dancing events three or four nights a week, dance classes2 every night except Saturday, and oasionally hosts weekend-long intensive dance workops with renowned dance instructors from all over the country (well, okay [url=http://www.scarperosherunsaldi.it/nike-roshe-run/roshe-run-flyknit-donna.ht... roshe run flyknit italia , they usually e from California, but, hey, it's sothing, right).The Century was opened a little more than four and a half years ago by Hallie Kuperman. Although the building has been around since 1908 (it was originally intended to serve as the main eting hall for the Oddfellows), and was host to punk bands in the 1970's and raves in the 1980's, it had fallen into disrepair by the 1990's. With a oestring starting budget of $2000,Toms Classics Won Shoes Grey, Hallie, (who not only runs the ballroom, but also tehes swing and salsa classes , is the co-founder of Swing Girls and the now-defunct performance troupe Swing This!, and generally makes the rest of us look bad by being a total dynamo) refurbied and remodeled until e ended up with the "Sinatra-esque"3 dance spe where I spend at least o nights a week.The dance floor is quite obviously the major focus of tivity in the ballroom. The 2000 square foot expanse of polied wood is surrounded by the narrowest raised periter filled with round tables covered in simple white linen and a haphazard congloration of nice (read: matching and padded!) and functional (read: unfortable, of the folding variety) chairs. Dance-level decoration is sparse; long drapes made of so velveteen material fra the windows, there is a large, woody plant in the corner near the entrance to the bathrooms, and the front of the stage is mirrored. The balcony is more sumptuous, with thick, soft, maroon flooring and intimate o seat tables with a stellar view of the dance floor,New Arrival Toms Color Matching Won Shoes Khaki. The ornate old chandeliers are much more obvious from the balcony, although it is possible to catch a glimpse of them if you happen to be subject to a particularly deep dip at the end of a song. Those of you who do not live in the Pific northwest can still catch a glimpse of the ballroom--the prom scene in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You was fild there in 1998.But enough about the spe. The Century is a dance hall [url=http://www.scarperosherunsaldi.it/nike-roshe-run.html]nike roshe run uomo saldi , and you can't talk about a dance hall without talking its dancers. The understated nature of the ballroom makes it particularly likely to pick up the charter of the people inhabiting it. Of course, the charter of the people inhabiting depends in large part on what kind of event is being held. Here, let demonstrate (and please forgive my swing bias):On Wednesday nights the Century usually holds a 21-and-over DJ'd swing dance. The $5 cover charge buys you at least three hours of dancing (from 9:30PM until 12:30AM), plus admission into the thirty minute swing class4 starting at 9:00PM. Jim usually works the door--if you e a couple weeks in a row, he'll at least rember your fe. A few weeks more than that and he'll know your na, too (and there's sothing so lovely about not being asked for your ID every single week),Toms Mens Mazarine Split Joint Stripe Charming Blue. The Wednesday population,Mens Toms Shoes Stripe, as a whole, is energetic, friendly nike air max 90 premium black , silly, more than a little flirtatious (in a teenagers-in-love sort of way), and surprisingly geeky when you get to know it. Wednesday night is typically about 14 really amazing, really intimidating dancers, 12 good dancersregulars, and 14 relatively new people. The an age is about 30 most weeks. The really amazing, really intimidating dancers generally arrive late and hang out in a small section of tables (and dance in the proximal corner of the ballroom) that is isolated from the rest of the ballroom because of it's location beeen the DJ booth and the bar. This is referred to as the "Hollywood Corner," because most of the people who hang out there dance Hollywood Style Lindy hop. Many of them dress to the nines in vintage clothing and o-toned oes. Many among their number are dance instructors and amateur swing petitors. Most of them have been dancing for years and were the progenitors of the Seattle swing scene. Unfortunately, a bination of a tendency toward clique-iness (many of the Hollywood folks won't dance with people from outside the corner) and the presence of a few snobby elitists (you know the type--they look through you as though you were made of ether rather than knowledge your presence lest they have to dance with you) surrounds the Hollywood corner in a sort of unimpehable barrier. There is also a small subset of amazing dancers who, for whatever reason, reject the values of (or are themselves rejected by) the Hollywood dancers. They are a lovely nike air max 2015 saldi , friendly bunch. They generally sit up on the edge of the stage, and will dance with anyone who has guts enough to ask.About half of Wednesday dancers (myself included) are of the regular variety in both attendence and skill. These are the people who you'll see nearly every week, who generally have scouted a particular table around which they regularly ple their stuff5. While this group dances on pretty much the entire floor (except the Hollywood Corner), there is a minor trend for the better dancers in this group to dance in the middle of the floor, while newer folks dance closer to the periter. Usually this group is about half hardcore swing addicts who dance more than one night a week and take classes and half folks who'With.
