After a milestone anniversary year, Giordano Dance Chicago steps into its next season with Gorton Center, taking the Giordano you love to the edge of expectation, continuing to push the boundaries of jazz dance.

America’s original jazz dance company is celebrating 61 years of expanding jazz dance!  From its origins in the family-run studio of Gus Giordano, the godfather of jazz in dance, to its current incarnation as a professional organization with worldwide performances in over 1,300 cities, GDC’s imprint on the art form is profound and far-reaching. The company’s new works continually expand the boundaries of jazz and contemporary dance, stunning audiences across the globe.
