When dance student Carol Shoupe lost all her possessions during a house fire, her "family" at the Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Belmont, MA stepped into action! On November 16th, a fundraiser was held at the studio to help her. Students and staff bought raffle tickets, bid on silent auction items, and bought dances with each other to help Carol. Studio owner Jennifer Batol was quoted in a recent news article: "It's just an amazing community we have within the studio. We always talk about how we're a big family, and we really are. Everyone here would do anything for anyone else. We are blessed to have the good people we have, students and staff both." There was one bright spot to Carol's tragedy: her dancing shoes were in her car at the time of the fire!
