Dahlia Harper - Eleven88 Ministry Assistant
I have been greatly involved in Eleven88 since 2020. Specifically, I assist in running SOUL Community, the Wellbeing Project, Soul Sesh and Eleven88’s core team.
I have trained in a variety of styles such as jazz, tap, hip-hop and contemporary. My favourite style of dance is tap, I love creating music with my feet.
I am greatly passionate about helping teens find their worth in Christ and watch them grow in their faith. To walk alongside them and be that friend and support is an honour. Being able to do that through the movement of dance is so special. Eleven88 is such an amazing ministry that has brought me closer to God. To spread hope through dance and create a positive message with amazing people. I am truly blessed to be a part of this ministry.

Amy Velten - Eleven88 Ministry Assistant
I have the privilege to be able to spread God’s love and reach out to the community through assisting in running dance and Soul Sesh classes, team practices, workshops, camps and Soul Community.
I’m classically trained across a variety of dance styles, however, I enjoy contemporary in particular.
I love being a part of Eleven88 because it brings a true sense of meaning and purpose to my life. It allows me to help others in recognising their own gifts and reaching their full potential in life, this being something I’m truly passionate about.

Noah Gloster - Eleven88 Dance Teacher and Core Team Member
I started dancing at Eleven88 in 2024 and have started teaching in 2025.
More specifically, I will be involved in teaching and choreographing Hip Hop Core Team as well as the dance classes each week.
What stood out to me with Eleven88 was the ministry perspective towards dancing. I've been doing Hip Hop for more than 10 years and I've valued the impact dancing can make towards people's well-being and view on life.
I love the thought of creating stories and spreading messages of hope and love as well as being an inspiration for children and youth through dance.
My favourite dance style is Hip Hop.

Hi my name is Stefan and I’m a core team member!
I'm also involved with Eleven88 as a camp leader as well as stage manager for the end of year showcase.
The thing that excites me most about Eleven88 is the end of year showcase. Seeing the joy on each talented youth’s face as they perform is something that warms my heart.
My favourite style of dance is hip-hop as it’s been my main style of dance that I’ve learnt. But I’m also excited to learn Jazz this year!

Hannah - Core Team Member
Being part of something like Eleven88 has always been a dream for me. Psalms 149:3 “let them praise his name through dance” is a bible verse I live by. Spreading Gods light through dance to bring more people to Him has always been something put on my heart.
I look forward to gathering together with the Eleven88 team every fortnight and am so honoured to be a part of something like this.

I am so excited for Eleven88 because as soon as I let God control my dancing journey, he opened up so many beautiful opportunities to dance with those who also have a faith (including Eleven88) and bring glory to his name!
I am excited to see how God will reveal his glory through this ministry and how he will use us as his messengers to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ through authentic dance all while making beautiful memories and meeting new people along the way.
