Local REALTOR and avid fundraiser Kelly Catallo of RE/MAX Leading Edge is excited to be participating in Season 2 of Dancing with the Realtors, a fundraising event for Habitat for Humanity. Dancing with the Realtors was created by Linda Covino and Season 1 took place in the spring of 2007, raising $21,000. The show is based off the ABC hit Dancing with the Stars.

In order to dance in the show, Realtors and affiliates must commit to ten ballroom lessons at Studio 665 in Woburn, where they are currently training with their professional partners. This years’ newcomers will be dancing the foxtrot and swing, while Kelly Catallo and other returning dancers are learning the cha-cha and tango. The show, hosted by Sara Edwards of Backstage CN8, will take place at the Burlington Marriott on November 14, 2008. Tickets are available for $35.00. All participants will also compete in the statewide finals at the Eastern United States Dancesport Championship at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel on February 20, 2009.

Dancing with the Realtors, a statewide event raised $81,000 collectively in 2007. Through ticket sales, donations and sponsorships Dancing with the Realtors goal for 2008 is to raise $100,000.
