Dancing with Giordano Stars

This was my third year photographing Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago super fun benefit, a ballroom dance competition, Dancing with the Giordano Stars. This year's event was held at the Park West allowing the dancers to perform on a fully lit stage (making it awesome to photograph as well). As always, everyone did an amazing job!

Dancing with the Giordano Stars

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity photograph a fabulous event for the Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago. Dancing with Giordano Stars is a benefit Ballroom Dance competition with GJDC company dancers and their partners from Chicago’s Who’s Who. Congrats to all the participants - they all did an amazing job!

Allegro Music and Dance Academy

This season I again had the pleasure of photographing the Allegro Music and Dance Academy for their recital. I always have so much fun that day -the dancers and their costumes are always fabulous! They have locations in Lockport, Lemont and Bolingbrook and I encourage you to check them out if you live in the area.

Mother Tongues - A Columbia College Thesis Dance Perfomance
