I am thrilled to be participating in the Giordano stars- All stars event! As a Chicago native, I’ve been a longtime supporter of the Arts, and local organizations like Giordano Dance Chicago. I had the privilege of participating in the Dancing with the Giordano stars in 2016. That was an incredible experience, I found it to be very rewarding and a ton of fun, so how could I pass up the opportunity to participate in the All stars event!?
I am looking forward to meeting new contestants, challenging myself to learn new dance moves, and raising money to further support Giordano Dance Chicago. When I am not showing off my dance moves, I am a partner at Johnson & Sullivan, Ltd., where I counsel clients on a wide range of issues relating to real estate, contracts, landlord/tenant, and estate planning matters. I also enjoy attending theater, trying new restaurants in Chicago, and traveling the world!

Dancing With The Giordano Stars All Stars
Park West | October 5, 2023 | 7-11PM
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.
