Bloch

Bloch has been synonymous with pointe since a candle-lit Sydney workshop in 1932, and that legacy now stretches from the shoe itself to bags, leotards and everything a dancer carries into the studio.


Bloch FAQs

I need Bloch pointe shoes, where do I start?

What's the difference between Bloch's canvas stage shoes and their acro flats?

  • The Bloch Accent Canvas Stage Shoe is built for stage performance, lightweight canvas with a low profile for character or lyrical work.
  • The Bloch Acro Leather Flat is built for grip and durability on acro and tumbling surfaces, leather holds up to repeated floor contact in a way canvas isn't designed for.
  • Picking based on the discipline you're performing, not just the look, is what actually matters here.

Which Bloch bag suits carrying shoes and gear versus a full costume day?

  • For everyday class use, the Bloch 2 Tone Dance Bag is sized for shoes, a drink bottle and a spare leotard without being bulky.

  • For heavier gear or multiple shoe types, the Bloch Arena Bag has more room to work with.

  • If your dancer carries their own bag to and from school as well as dance, the Bloch Backpack or Bloch Ballerina Backpack keeps the weight evenly distributed rather than pulling on one shoulder.

Are Bloch leotards and bodysuits sized the same as their shoes?

  • No, treat them separately. The Bloch Aries Bodysuit runs on standard leotard sizing (child and adult), while pointe and canvas shoes follow Bloch's own shoe sizing, which typically runs differently to street shoe sizing
  • Check the sizing charts for each product type separately rather than assuming one size carries across the range
