Traci Lively
Choreographer
This is Traci Lively's 11th year with HVA. She has been in love with dance since she put herself in her first ballet class when she was five. Her love of musical theatre came shortly after and choreographing shows has been her passion since 2013. Traci will graduate this May with her Masters in Communication Studies from the University of Tennessee and start her PhD there this fall. Traci's hope is that she can continue to share her love of the performing arts not only within Knox County but within her further education as well. Favorite works include Guys and Dolls, Catch Me If You Can, Mamma Mia!, Hairspray, West Side Story, and last year's production of Anything Goes.
