That’s why I stayed and kept coming back because I felt like maybe I do belong.”

While nurturing, the atmosphere within the dance department can also be demanding and intense. “Technique wise, (Collin’s dance program) challenged me,” said Melissa Nagel, a 21-year-old sophomore who is a part of the elite Collin Dance Ensemble, a dance company students can participate in by audition only. “The program, and Tiffanee, got me back into shape,” she said. Nagel had taken a two-year hiatus from dancing. “I get a lot of positive feedback as well as a lot of constructive criticism,” she said.

Arnold takes great satisfaction in her job as a dance instructor. “It’s great to see these students react,” said Arnold. “As the teacher I can see the light bulb go off over their head.” To obtain this, Arnold believes she needs to establish an environment where her students can grow. “I really enjoy this particular age group because I’m able to share with students that there is more to dance than they ever thought possible.
