Finding genuine Bloch dancewear in Australia online does not have to be complicated. 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 understands dance make the process straightforward.
Why Bloch Remains 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 studios, and real dancers.
The fit is consistent across categories. The materials hold up through classes, rehearsals, and performances. Bloch understands what dancers need because the brand has been built by people who dance. That is not marketing copy. It is reflected in the product details, from the elastics on their ballet shoes to the gusset construction on their leotards.
For a deeper look at the full range and how to choose the right items for your dancer, the Bloch dancewear buying guide for kids and adults covers sizing, styles, and what suits different dance disciplines.
What You Can Buy Online at Total Dance
The range covers most of what a dancer needs across any stage of training.
Ballet Shoes and Pointe Shoes
Bloch ballet shoes are one of the most popular starting points for beginner students. The Bloch Prolite and Dansoft styles suit younger dancers with softer, more flexible soles. For serious students moving toward pointe work, Bloch pointe shoes require a proper fitting. If you are ordering online, use the size charts carefully and check the width fittings. Bloch uses their own lettered width system and it does not map directly to standard Australian shoe sizing.
Leotards and Dance Tops
Bloch leotards are sized by age for children and by standard Australian sizing for adults. Children's leotards run in two-year age brackets. A size 6-8 generally suits a child measuring around 56 to 60 centimetres at the chest. Always cross-check with the measurements on the product page rather than going purely by age, as dancers vary significantly in build.
Adult sizing follows AU conventions. If your dancer is between sizes, size up. Leotards that are too tight restrict movement and cause discomfort across a full class.
Dance Tights and Accessories
Bloch footed, convertible, and fishnet tights are available in the range. Convertible tights are the most versatile for studio use as they work for ballet and contemporary. Check the denier and colour carefully before ordering. Theatrical pink and light pink look similar in photos but are noticeably different under studio lighting.
How to Get the Right Fit When Buying Online
Fit is where online dance shopping requires the most attention. Here is what to do before placing your order.
- Measure your dancer in the morning, before class, not after. Feet in particular measure larger after activity.
- Use a soft tape measure for chest, waist, and hip measurements on leotards and skirts.
- For dance shoes, measure both feet and use the larger measurement.
- Check whether the size chart on the product page is in centimetres or inches before reading it.
- Note that children's dancewear sizing is based on body measurements, not school clothing sizes.
If you are unsure, contact the team before ordering. Getting the size right the first time saves time and avoids the hassle of returns.
Shipping and Returns for Australian Customers
Total Dance ships from Australia. Orders are not coming from overseas warehouses, so delivery times are realistic and tracking is straightforward. Returns are accepted for items in original unworn condition with tags attached. Dance shoes that have been worn on a studio floor cannot be returned, so check the size carefully before your dancer tries them on a hard surface.

Choosing Bloch for Different Dance Disciplines
Bloch produces products across ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, and musical theatre. Not every product in the range suits every discipline. Jazz shoes differ in sole construction from ballet flats. Tap shoes require specific sole and heel attachments depending on the style of tap being taught.
If your dance school has a uniform list, match the product name or style number on that list exactly. Schools often specify a particular Bloch style for consistency, and substituting a similar-looking style can result in the wrong sole type for the floor surface being used.
For a full breakdown of which Bloch products suit which styles and age groups, the complete guide to buying Bloch in Australia is worth reading before your first order.
