Hi, I’m Debbie Hodgkins. I live in Lake Bluff with my husband of 30 years and have four amazing sons. I also became the grandmother of a baby girl last year, and couldn’t be prouder. I have owned a floral design business for 20 years, as flowers and gardening are my passion and creative outlet. I’ve always loved to dance, and I’m thrilled to be stepping onto the stage for such a meaningful cause. I’m honored to support Giordano Dance Company and everything it stands for. Thank you for cheering me on!
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.
