Clyde & JoAnne
Clyde Tisdale is an artist at Community Arts Connection. He is ready to light up the stage with moves that would make James Brown proud and a few Michael Jackson vibes sprinkled in for good measure. Known to some as “Junior,” this dance floor dynamo can go from funky footwork to smooth spins faster than you can say “moonwalk.” Off the stage, you might catch him at IHOP enjoying pancakes or digging into a plate of spaghetti with mozzarella cheese – the ultimate comfort food combo. A die-hard Buffalo Bills fan, Clyde brings energy, humor, and heart to everything he does.
Clyde’s celebrity parter is JoAnne Ryan! With a triple-digit shoe collection that sparks playful debates with her husband over whether she has more shoes or he has more ties, JoAnne is perfectly matched and accessorized with towers of stacking bracelets. A devoted Mimi to five grandchildren, she’s learned to love every beautiful mess they create – and even the garden dirt her husband drags in. Coming from a big Italian family where food is love, she knows that laughter, pasta, and a full table are essential. She also leads with heart beyond her family, serving as President and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities, making a difference for families in need. Life with her is a sparkling, chaotic, heart-filled adventure—and somehow, she makes it all look effortless.
