DJ Hannah Rose
Hannah Feuerwerker discovered her passion and talent for dance when at the age of 12, she started at Studio T Arts & Entertainment, formerly known as Studio T Urban Dance Academy. By the time she was sixteen, she was not only teaching dance herself, she had bloomed into a confident young woman with a strong work ethic and a drive to do more. She grew in her talent and ability to serve the community by modeling the power of dance in Sacramento’s schools, churches, community centers, and libraries for the past 9 years. She is a debt free, college graduate with a Dance major, and Communications minor with an emphasis on digital media, from Sacramento State.

In addition to dance, she already owns her own DJ company. When at the age of 17 she expressed that she wanted to learn how to DJ. Her dance coach Tamaira “Miss Tee” Sandifer overheard her and immediately connected her with the local radio station 103.5. While Hannah was at the radio station she would learn not only how to DJ, but what equipment to purchase and more about the industry.
