As a 2025 Giordano Star I have some very fabulous shoes to fill following in the dancing footsteps of my mother and two-time DWTGS contestant, Pat Manus. My mom’s mirror ball win was a pivotal moment for our family, introducing us to the incredible Cesar Salinas and the wonderful world that is Giordano Dance Chicago. My family and I have been supporting Giordano for over a decade, both in their efforts on the stage and in Chicago's communities. I am honored to now be taking the Giordano Stage to support the company's ongoing outreach to Chicagoland children that would otherwise not have arts education programs in their lives.
The ELECTRICITY is back for the 18th Anniversary of Dancing With The Giordano Stars!
A group of Chicago A-listers take the stage with a Giordano professional dancer for a shot at winning the coveted disco ball. The stakes are high with each couple performing only one dance for one chance to impress our guest judges. There are also special awards for most money raised and audience favorite. Support your favorite Star and stay to dance the night away!
Dancing With The Giordano Stars fundraising supports GDC's transformative initiatives. Through our Youth Arts Education Fund, we illuminate the path for the next generation with innovative programs such as the CPS Jazz Dance/Science & Health, GDC's Free Ticket Program, dynamic dance workshops, enriching mentorship partnerships, immersive school residencies, and the esteemed NGCP® certification.
