ABOUT US
AYDN was created with one belief:
Dancewear should be held to a higher standard.
Founded by Sara Rivera, a dance professional with 23 years of experience and a Master's in Dance Education, alongside Ryan Shaer, a successful entrepreneur with a passion for building brands and developing exceptional products. Together, they share a passion for health, wellness, and creating apparel that dancers and parents can truly trust.
Our Mission
At AYDN, our mission is to create premium dancewear with exceptional comfort, an elevated fit, and responsibly sourced materials—because we believe what touches your skin matters.
Certifications
At AYDN, we partner with manufacturers that meet some of the world's most trusted textile standards while carefully selecting premium materials for each collection.
• GOTS-certified organic cotton fabric – Sustainably grown and responsibly processed.
• OEKO-TEX® certified fabric – Independently tested for harmful substances.
• Fair Trade Certified™ facility – Supporting fair wages and safe working conditions.
Why We Do This
The clothes that your dancer is wearing might contain PFAS, azo dyes, formaldehyde, and phthalates; chemicals linked to hormone disruption, fertility issues, and skin absorption risks.
Learning how many of those materials contained harmful chemicals, we knew we had to create something with full transparency. AYDN was born, because we care about keeping our bodies safe when we move.
