Our team.
Hanna Karpus, Founder-President
Hanna is a rising senior at Calabasas High School, class of 2026. She discovered her love for movement at the age of 4 when she started rhythmic gymnastics, later moving to ballet, and has been a professional ballroom dancer for over 10 years. With a heart for teaching, Hanna has worked with children ages 3-16, inspiring them through dance, and even participated in competitions.
Hanna is truly dedicated to making a positive impact on the community. Dance 4 Hope has been a long-term project for her, and she's incredibly excited to see it all come together, grow, bringing joy, creativity, and kindness to everyone involved.
The Board
At Dance 4 Hope, we believe in the power of teamwork over titles. Rather than assigning individual roles, our board works together to make everything happen — from social media and event planning to leading groups and organizing activities. Everyone brings something unique to the table, and we’re so thankful for their passion and dedication. Our current board includes Nica Sorokine, Alisa Rainin, Giana Mucci, Emily Tatoosi, and Ella Vaknin, led by President Hanna Karpus.
