Fields Corner Main Street filled its dance card this year with local celebrities for Dancing with the Stars of Boston 2008. This spectacular event featured some of Boston’s brightest stars paired with professional dancers from Arthur Murray Dance Studios of Boston. With many hours of dedicated practice under their belts, these dance teams performed the cha cha, tango and waltz, to name a few, in an effort to support FCMS’ revitalization efforts. We thank all of our dancers for their time and putting on the dancing shoes!
Local Fields Corner photographer Mike Ritter was able to capture the competition and take candid photos throughout the evening. The results of his efforts are on display at his web site. Click here to visit view and purchase a unique keepsake of the event.
The event code is: Stars. Mike will be graciously donating all of this year's proceeds to FCMS, so please consider this opportunity to purchase memories that will last a lifetime!
