Mariel practices during a dress rehearsal for an upcoming show in Schwab Auditorium. She said before Volé, she always felt more comfortable performing in low light for fear of being criticized by her peers. Having danced professionally since the age of 11, she is seeking a minor in dance despite suffering several years of her dance career with ballet-induced anorexia. After 'falling out of love' with the dance, she said: "I've found my love for ballet and in a sense succumbed the darkness and found a new light." / Photo by Caitlyn DeFluri
