Although my work takes me on the road nearly every week, I proudly call Chicago home. This city's spirit, defined by its compassion and community, continues to inspire me. As a father to two young daugthers, I want to show them what it means to step outside your comfort zone, to try something new, even if it means looking a little silly. Espeically when it's for a great cause - one that deeply aligns with my values.
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.
