The 13th edition of Giordano Dance Chicago's A-list benefit garnered more than $262,000 for the vaunted institution during an evening of special performances at Park West. Fitness guru Jim Karas, Joffrey Ballet Artistic Director Ashley Theater and reporter Ji Suk Yi Judged the Candace Jordan-emceed bash, which matched local boldface names with GDC pros to compete for Best Male Dancer and Best Female Dancer honors.
