'Exemplary' Nashville Ballet Teacher Has 'A Heart For People'

Nashville, TN — Great community leaders matter. In Nashville, we’re fortunate to have leaders like Maria Konrad.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize community leaders and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Chrycilis Perry who nominated Maria Konrad of Nashville.

How do you know the teacher?

Maria works at Nashville Ballet. She is an instructor and director for the Nashville Ballet's Second Company.

What does this person teach?

She teaches Ballet at Nashville Ballet.

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Maria Konrad has gone beyond the call of teaching youth who don't have the money to receive professional dance training but are determined to dance with professional training and supplies. She teaches children in two separate countries and various states how to dance for FREE. She is a highly skilled and sought-after experienced Dance Instructor to the stars. She embodies the mission of Nashville Ballet by not just serving American communities, but international communities as well. I am incredibly inspired and proud to call her a colleague.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Maria not only cares about the execution of the choreography, but her concern extends to the total well-being of her students. She is an exemplary teacher with a heart for people.
