Overview

Gus Giordano did more than train dancers and teachers, he was an ambassador within his community and throughout the world. He left an indelible mark on the lives of those he taught Jazz Dance. 

 

Gus and Peg Giordano gave thousands of dollars in scholarships to many dancers in their lifetime and their daughter, Amy Giordano, has continued the tradition of giving scholarships since their passing. 

 

The Gus Giordano Jazz Legacy Foundation is dedicated to preserving and continuing Gus Giordano’s legacy by enriching the lives of others through Jazz Dance. The Gus Giordano Jazz Legacy Foundation aims to create the same culture, uplifting spirit, and dedication to spreading the joy of jazz that Gus gave to thousands of children and young adults, regardless of financial means. 

 

The Foundation was created to Keep The Legacy Alive!
