I am honored to be taking part in this year’s Dancing With The Giordano Stars.  Being a huge fan of the company and all the dancers, it didn’t take much for me to say yes to Nan when she asked me.  Not being a dancer myself, but a passionate admirer of the art form and the incredible talent in the company, I feel I am in good hands to accept this challenge.  My passions include photography, supporting arts education and performances.  Experiencing what dancer create allows me to be transported into the magical world of the story they are telling through their movement.  My hobbies include collecting (not hoarding) a number of things from art from between the wars, Art Deco artifacts, sculptures, perfume bottles, vanity items and ephemera.   

The ELECTRICITY is back for the 18^th 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.
