According to ABC6, twelve-year-old Raul Soto from Central Falls was chosen to be a back-up dancer for Justin Bieber on his 'Purpose' Tour.  Raul will join Bieber on stage in Boston in May.  Raul and his family are now waiting for a contract from the megastar to learn more of the specifics after he submitted the audition tape that was filmed in his living room.
