BIO
Elizabeth received the inaugural John Monte Award of Excellence as a Pro/Am competitor and never looked back. With her husband, Tad Joy, she co-owned the St. Petersburg, Florida Fred Astaire Dance Studio for 25 years and maintained its excellence as one of the best studios in the country. She received numerous “Manager of the Year” awards and Freddy Awards. Her B.A. in Journalism/Advertising has always been a benefit in this business! While she loves the “ins and outs” of studio systems, she also had great success on the dance floor as both a Pro/Am competitor (both sides of the partnership) and a Professional competitor. Elizabeth is an undefeated FADS United States Smooth Champion and 3-Time Fred Astaire Dance Studios National International Ballroom Champion. Both styles were dancing with her husband, Tad. She is now the Fred Astaire Dance Studios Area Developer for Tampa Bay, FL. She’s also a company stockholder and a proud mom!
