Finding genuine Bloch dancewear in Australia online is straightforward when you know where to look. Total Dance stocks a wide range of Bloch products for dancers of every age and level, from first-time ballet students to serious performers. Clear sizing, fast Australian shipping, and a team that lives and breathes dance make the whole process simple.
Why Bloch Is a Trusted Name for Australian Dancers
Bloch has been making dancewear and dance shoes since 1932. The brand was founded in Sydney, so it carries genuine Australian heritage. That history translates into products engineered for real movement, real studio floors, and real training demands. Fabrics are cut for stretch and recovery. Seams sit where they need to, not where they irritate. Sizing is consistent across seasons, which matters when you are replacing a leotard mid-year and cannot get to a store.
For a full breakdown of styles, sizing, and what to buy for different dance disciplines, the complete Bloch buying guide for kids and adults covers everything in detail.
What You Can Buy Online at Total Dance
The range covers every core category a dancer needs.
Leotards and Dancewear
Bloch leotards run across a wide size range, from toddler through to adult. Australian sizing conventions apply, so a size 6 corresponds to a 6-year-old child at average height and weight. If your child is tall or between sizes, size up rather than down. Leotards that are too snug restrict movement and tend to roll at the leg line during class.
Styles include tank, short sleeve, long sleeve, and camisole cuts. Fabric options range from foil prints to matte Supplex blends. Most Bloch leotards feature a built-in shelf bra from around size 10 upward.
Tights and Convertible Styles
Bloch tights are available in full foot, footed, and convertible cuts. Convertible tights are the most practical choice for students moving between ballet, jazz, and contemporary. They fold back for bare foot work and sit flat under costumes. If you are also looking at accessories like stitch kits to convert regular tights, the guide to Bloch stitch kits and jazz essentials is worth reading before you order.
Dance Shoes
Bloch dance shoes are a consistent seller across all age groups. Ballet flats come in canvas and leather. Split-sole designs improve foot articulation and are generally recommended from intermediate level onward. Jazz shoes, tap shoes, and lyrical sandals are also stocked. Shoe sizing at Bloch runs slightly narrow, so if your child has a wider foot, order a half size up and check the width guide on the product page.
Boys and Men's Dancewear
Bloch produces a solid range for male dancers, including fitted shorts, dance belts, and rehearsal unitards. These are often harder to find in general sportswear stores, which makes ordering online from a specialist retailer the practical option.
How to Size Bloch Dancewear for Children
Use the height and weight measurements on the Bloch size chart rather than relying on age alone. Two children the same age can differ significantly in torso length, which affects how a leotard sits. Measure from shoulder to crotch for a quick check against the chart. For tights, measure height and waist. Bloch tights are designed to sit at the natural waist, not the hip.
If you are ordering for a child who is still growing, one size up is usually fine for leotards and tights. Avoid going two sizes up as excess fabric bunches under costumes and can cause tripping hazards in footwear.
Ordering Bloch Dancewear Online in Australia
Orders placed through Total Dance ship from within Australia. That means shorter delivery windows and no international customs delays. Most metro orders arrive within two to five business days. Regional delivery may take a little longer depending on your location.
Returns are accepted on unworn items in original packaging, which is important if you are sizing between options. Keep tags attached and try leotards over undergarments if you are unsure about fit.
Browse the full Bloch range at Total Dance to see current stock across shoes, leotards, tights, and accessories. Stock on popular styles and sizes moves quickly around enrolment season, so ordering early in term one and term three is worth doing.
A Note on Authenticity
Genuine Bloch products carry consistent stitching, clear branding, and accurate size labelling. If you have purchased Bloch from a marketplace seller and noticed quality differences, that is worth paying attention to. Buying through an authorised Australian retailer means you are getting the real product with accurate sizing and proper quality control behind it.
