Meet The Team

Lauren Stebbins - Founder/Eleven88 Dance Coordinator

I have had the privilege of leading Eleven88 for the past 10 years.

I am involved with our Community Dance Programs, SOUL, Camps, Workshops, Administration and more.

I have recently completed my Bachelor of Ministry and am passionate about seeing young people empowered to be all they were created to be. I love working with the youth in our community and seeing them encounter Jesus’ love for them.

I love to dance, and my favourite style of dance is Hip Hop, Contemporary, and Tap!

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, Camps, Workshops 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.
