Susan Racette | Owner
As the owner of Kindermotion and Dance of New England, I’ve embarked on a journey fueled by my passion for movement, education, and entrepreneurship. With a background in physical education and exercise science, coupled with years of experience teaching in various grades and settings, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the power of education to transform lives. From my early days at Pauline Parker’s School of Dance to my time in school administration, I’ve been driven by a desire to make a difference in the lives of young learners. Now, as a proud small business owner in our community, I’m dedicated to leveraging my expertise to create meaningful experiences for children and families through Kindermotion—a perfect fusion of my passions for teaching, leadership, and dance.
Shayna Jerman | Teacher
Shaynah has danced for 9 years of her life and competed for 5 in jazz, lyrical, and hip hop. She is a junior at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where she studies marketing and economics, but has never lost her love for dance and teaching. On top of her own dance studies, she taught dance and martial arts to children of all ages! It’s safe to say Shaynah has a passion for teaching and is so excited to join the Kinderdance team!
Meghan Foster | Teacher
I am so excited to be part of the Kinderdance family! I started dancing at the age of 3 at Paulette’s Ballet Studio in Newton, MA and continued teaching and dancing there throughout high school. I danced competitively in college and after receiving my BS in Early Childhood Education I was a pre-kindergarten teacher and on the faculty at Paulette’s. Although I have had other jobs over the years I always come back to my passion which is working with young children and dancing. I am so thrilled to have found Kinderdance and to be doing what I love!
