Meet Lily

Lily Painter

Dance Teacher

Lily began dancing at 9 and remained with the same studio in Franklin until graduation from high school. She trained and competed in ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, and hip hop. She credits dance for shaping her into the person she is today. It has taught her self discipline, confidence, and the importance of a strong work ethic. Dance also gave her many of her closest lifelong friends. She is excited to share these values with her students!

In 2023, she graduated from Tennessee Technological University with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. During her time at TTU, she represented the school on the sidelines of football games, community events, and the UDA College nationals competition as a member of the dance team. She is currently working towards her Master of Occupational Therapy degree at Tennessee State University. Lily is excited to begin working as an occupational therapist in Franklin. She enjoys problem solving to overcome barriers and loves meeting people where they are. She is so ecstatic to be a part of the MOVE team!
