I am thrilled to be part of Dancing with the Giordano Stars All Stars! As a past contestant, I know my biggest responsibility is to promote this amazing dance company and raise funds so they can continue to do what they do best. Not only do they entertain countless audiences in Chicago and worldwide but their outreach to schools in our community spread the joy of dance to others who may not normally have that opportunity.
My exposure to Giordano Dance Chicago began in 2010 when my son and Nan’s son played baseball at St. Ignatius. Sitting in the stands at games I heard of her company’s version of the hit ABC show. As an avid fan of the show, I was hooked and attended Giordano DWTS every fall, itching to get my chance to give it a whirl. My opportunity came in 2016 and it was a blast! I am very lucky to partner again with the wonderfully positive and energetic Cesar Salinas! He is a ray of light, exudes happiness on the stage and I can’t wait to dance with him again.This year will also be extra special because I get to share the stage with my dear friend, Sheri Passalino!
We hope you can support us in our efforts this year and look forward to seeing you in the audience on October 5th!

The ELECTRICITY is back, and this time with a team of All Stars!
That’s right, a group of Chicago A-listers and former Dancing With The Giordano Stars contestants from the past 15 years take the stage with a Giordano professional dancer for another shot at winning the coveted disco ball. The stakes are higher with each couple performing only one dance for one chance to impress our guest judges, in addition to an ambitious group production number. Support your favorite Star and stay to dance the night away!
All proceeds benefit our Jazz Dance/Science & Health outreach program, company operations, and jazz dance advocacy and mentorship.
