At a studio in western New York, she went on to perform at countless showcases and competitions. She went on to earn 3 undergraduate degrees before she rediscovered her love of dance and began dancing at Fred Astaire in Buffalo, NY. It was there that she met Vincent, and their chemistry together was undeniable.
Together, Vincent and Elizabeth founded, coached and taught the competitive ballroom dance team at the University at Buffalo, developing outreach programs with Houghton College and Daemen college during their time there.
