Fields Corner Main Street filled its dance card this year with local celebrities for Dancing with the Stars of Boston 2009. 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!
