About Us

For many years, I dreamed of building my own fashion brand. With a Business degree and experience in footwear operations at ALDO Shoes, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in this ever-evolving industry.

I started dancing Swing in 2006 and quickly fell in love with West Coast Swing. Over time, my passion for dance and fashion naturally came together, inspiring one dream enterprise: designing and building a fashion-forward dance shoe brand.

After co-founding and running Sway’D for 4 years, I re-invested myself in the creation and development of my new label- Marine Lauren.

The driving mission is to create quality, contemporary dance footwear for ambitious and creative minds. Inspired by today’s trends, each design is thoughtfully adapted into dance-friendly footwear that prioritizes flexibility, comfort, and safety. Customer feedback remains at the heart of the process, helping shape meaningful innovations and continuous improvement.

My experience until now as a community vendor has brought me valuable information and analytics about many different customer needs and wants. I have constantly built upon this knowledge brought by dancers of all levels and ages across the globe, to create upgrades and newness to my shoes.
I hope you enjoy these products while I have many more in the works!
