His Splendor United Ministry of Dance

I have a heart for God’s people so when I first connected with FIM, thru His Splendor United Ministry of Dance (outreach program), in 2010 I began volunteering at the studio.

modern

Over the years, I’ve trained in styles including hip hop, jazz, and modern, and I’m thrilled to help students grow in technique, confidence, and creativity. Assisting in advanced modern and hip hop allows me to pour into dancers just like my teachers once poured into me.

hip hop

Assisting in advanced modern and hip hop allows me to pour into dancers just like my teachers once poured into me. My prayer is that every student I work with knows they are loved, capable, and created with purpose.

Ballet

Hello, I’m Ellianna Vinluan! I have grown up in Marion, IN all my life, and I am now currently studying at Indiana Wesleyan University for Biology Pre-Med. I have been dancing since I was 2 years of age, and I have been with Faith In Motion since it began. I have tried every genre I could from ballet to modern, tap, hip-hop, pointé, and ballroom. My passion and love for dance has now brought me to teaching at FIM, and I could not be anymore excited! Helping other students with their passion and love for dance and being able to impart all the knowledge of the art form and the Lord I can has been a dream of mine.

Tap, Jazz

modern, tap, and jazz

I remained in ballet classes until my junior year of high school when I tried modern, tap, and jazz. After four years of Jr. Faculty and a year of apprenticeship, I joined Sr. Faculty in 2020. I’ve been an instructor on Faculty for over 5 years now! Teaching at Faith in Motion has changed my relationship with the Lord in more ways than I can count. As a student, I was taught to express the glory of God and mentored in how to explore His creativity through movement. As an instructor, I’ve been reminded of His gentle spirit and provision working through a unified group of believers.

I started dance when I was five, but I joined Faith in Motion in sixth grade and very quickly fell in love with the art of ballet.
