February 13th – 8 PM

In 57 years as an artistic leader and innovator, Giordano Dance Chicago – America’s original jazz dance company- has contributed greatly to the health of Chicago’s performing arts community. From our origins in Gus Giordano’s family-run studio to our current incarnation as a professionally-run organization with over a half-century of worldwide performances (27 countries, 46 states, and more than 1,200 cities), our imprint on the art form of jazz dance is far-reaching and significant. Our contributions include: a vast repertoire of more than 165 original works; the mentoring of new and emerging choreographers; the commissioning of innumerable musical scores and production designers; the education of tens of thousands of underserved public school and community students; the employment of generations of professional dancers, and performances to millions of audience members worldwide.Several major factors combine to be the engine behind all programs and which reflect the organization’s mission and vision. First, the legacy of founder Gus Giordano suffuses the organization, its mission and its daily activities and cannot be over-emphasized. Second, the leadership of Artistic Director Nan Giordano and Executive Director Michael McStraw has challenged and transformed the organization to continuously raise its standards, take artistic risks, and expand its influence worldwide. Third, GDC recruits, hires, and fosters dance artists who possess more than just superlative technique and experience, but who also convey passion, humanity, and elegance. Lastly, ours is always a passionate and visceral offering which connects deeply with our audience.
Our mission provides for strong educational programs and services, including teaching the Giordano Technique in residencies in college and university dance programs, as well as the Nan Giordano Certification Program® which offers multi-level instruction and certification in the proprietary Giordano Technique. GDC’s Jazz Dance/Science & Health program, established in 2005, teaches elementary-school anatomy and nutrition curriculum through a dance-centric program in the science classroom over the course of 8 weeks. In 2018 the program brought 300 classes to 450 students in four schools in low-income neighborhoods.

Delicious, Nutritious Whole-Grain Bread Class with Judy Felts
2022-02-12 10:00 - 12:00 | Stoney Creek Farm, 4700 Coe Lane, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States
In a perfect world, we would have fresh whole-whole grain bread that we can make ourselves every week for the family just like our ancestors did, instead of the bleached, bromated, re-fortified bread that is in our pantry today.
Judy Felts had been baking whole-grain bread for her family for many years and she does it while working a full-time job as a realtor along with volunteering her time for non-profit organizations. She can show you all the tools needed to make the ‘healthy bread process’ something everyone (even busy moms) can accomplish.
Did you know that many people who are gluten-free today, can eat this type of healthy bread with no issues? Judy can give you all the facts.
This hearty whole-grain bread is a healthy and delicious alternative to packaged supermarket bread. The seeds and different types of flour add flavor, texture, and fiber, making a filling, satisfying loaf that is great for sandwiches or to go with salads. We all know that whole grains can be good for us, but that’s not the only reason to eat them. With the right recipes and techniques, they can taste great, too.
