A Hollywood-style dance competition benefiting Chicago students takes the stage Thursday night at the Park West concert venue in Lincoln Park.
Giordano Dance Chicago is hosting its 15th annual"Dancing with the Giordano Stars" event to raise money for the company's outreach program serving Chicago Public Schools. CBS 2's Ryan Baker will emcee the contest.
Dancer, choreographer, and director Joshua Blake Carter said it's a lot of pressure for contestants who have been rehearsing since June. Routines will include each contestant performing the foxtrot, and then a dance of choice for each pair. Contestants only get 90 seconds for each dance, and Carter said judges are looking not only for performance and technical skill, but whether contestants are actually having fun.The contest raises money for Giordano Dance Chicago's"Jazz Dance/Science & Health" outreach program, which helps teach health and wellness to students at underserved public schools.
