I was all wrong for ballet but I’ve been just stubborn enough to continue through all odds and adversity. I even changed the shape of my body through exercise."[5] In the same interview she also said that “the Hand of God directed me to this very fine company where, I feel I contribute something, in a small way. Ballet is one of the finest of the arts and I want to give my talent given to me by God as a contribution to the world.”[5] While on a NBC tour to California in 1958, she wrote a letter that was published in the Holy Names College Alumni Bulletin: "Finally I have achieved that peace of soul which comes from knowing that this is my mission in life."[5] Teresa Mann was with the National Ballet of Canada for 5 years, until 1961. She then moved to London, England for two years, where she trained with Audrey De Vos[6] and danced with various companies in Europe.

That word does not exist in my vocabulary."[11] That same year she was a guest on the FETV program, “Gente Interesante” on Channel 5.[4] In 2009, during the celebration of the International Day of Dance, she received a plaque from the Panamanian Instituto Nacional de Cultura in recognition of her invaluable contributions to dance and ballet in the country and her continued contribution and support of the cultural development of Panama.[2] Finally in 2015, she received the Education in the Arts MUSICALION award for her invaluable work as a dance educator in Panama.[12] Personal lifeIn 1964, Teresa Mann married Carlos Emilio Guevara Céspedes.

LegacyThousands of Panamanian women have studied ballet under Teresa Mann and dance at her school since 1965. Most of the owners of other dance schools in Panama today are graduates of the EDTM.[13] Teresa Mann said once during an interview with the newspaper [https://www.panamaamerica.com.pa/ Panama America][13] that discipline was very important for her. "Competition medals were of secondary importance for her, what's really valuable is the experience, the training, discipline and the mastering of that discipline, and concentration; benefits that they will keep for life," she said in that same interview. "Most of these girls will not be professional dancers, but they would have learned to organize their time and widen their horizons."[13] The Escuela de Danzas Teresa Mann continues the legacy that Teresa Mann started in 1965.[15][14] Bibliography{{commons category}}
