I am super excited to be a “Star” with the dynamic Giordano dance company! As a huge lover of the arts, especially dance, I have always dreamt of being on stage to perform and dance, even for a minute. As an anesthesiologist, there is a bit of “art” to what I do, but seldom tap into the true artistic part of the brain, where the true magic of dance resides! What a privilege that Giordano is giving me to do so! While also raising funds to support their mission of taking their art to underprivileged students and their communities! Thank you Giordano Dance Chicago.
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.
