Popular Bloch Styles Available at Total Dance
Our Bloch collection covers all the essentials, from convertible tights and footed styles through to socks and specialty hosiery. Below are some of the most-loved pieces you'll find in our range.
Embrace Convertible Tights (Child and Adult)
The Embrace Convertible Child Tights and Embrace Convertible Adult Tights are perennial favourites in dance studios across Australia. The convertible design features a small opening in the foot, allowing dancers to wear them footed for barre work or push the fabric back over the heel for floor work, contemporary or lyrical. The Bloch Embrace range is crafted from a soft, stretchy microfibre blend that moves with the body without bagging or sagging at the knees. Available in a range of sizes to suit dancers from young students through to adults, these tights are a staple worth keeping in multiple colours.
Embrace Footed Child Tights
For younger dancers who need full coverage throughout class, the Embrace Footed Child Tights deliver the same quality fabric and reliable fit as the Embrace convertible styles, but with a fully footed construction. They sit smoothly inside ballet shoes and hold their shape wash after wash, which any dance parent will appreciate after a long recital season.
Elastorib
The Elastorib is a Bloch classic for good reason. This ribbed waistband elastic is used extensively by dancers and seamstresses to finish leotards, shorts and skirts with a neat, professional edge. If you're sewing dancewear at home or a costume maker working on recital pieces, having quality Elastorib on hand makes a genuine difference to the finished garment's comfort and appearance.
Jazz Socks
Bloch Jazz Socks are designed specifically for jazz and tap dancers who need a smooth, non-slip sock that sits neatly inside jazz shoes or tap shoes. Durable, comfortable and available in classic colours, they're an affordable essential that belongs in every dancer's bag.
If you'd like a deeper look at the full Bloch range and how to choose the right styles for your dancer's specific discipline, our complete guide to buying Bloch dancewear for kids and adults walks you through everything you need to know, from sizing to fabric types to discipline-specific recommendations.
Why Buy Bloch Dancewear Through Total Dance?
There are plenty of places to buy dancewear online in Australia, so it's worth understanding what sets a specialist retailer apart from a general sports or fashion store.
Genuine Stock, Correctly Sized
Total Dance stocks authentic Bloch products sourced through official channels. That means you're getting the real thing, not a cheaper imitation that uses similar branding. Bloch sizing can differ between styles and age groups, and our team understands these nuances. If you're ever unsure whether to size up or down in a particular tight or shoe, we're here to help you get it right the first time.
Fast, Reliable Shipping Australia-Wide
We ship to every state and territory across Australia. Whether you're in Melbourne, Cairns, Perth or a regional town in between, your order is packed and dispatched promptly. For dance families trying to get ready before the term starts or before a concert, that reliability matters.
A Range Built for Every Discipline
Bloch's strength is that it caters for ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical and tap. Our Bloch dancewear range at Total Dance reflects that breadth, so you can find the right product for the right style of dance without having to shop across multiple websites.
A One-Stop Shop Beyond Bloch
Once you've found your Bloch tights and socks, you may also need accessories to complete your dancer's look or bag. Total Dance stocks a wide variety of dancewear essentials alongside our Bloch range, including hair accessories, bags, ribbons and recital extras. Products like the Mesh Pointe Bag for storing pointe shoes, the Satin Ballet Shoe Ribbon for finishing ballet slippers, and the Rock Rosin 4oz for tap and pointe work are all available in the same order. For keeping hair neat and stage-ready, options like Ripple Pins 50 Pack 4.5cm Black, Ripple Pins 50 Pack 4.5cm Brown and Bunheads Hair Nets Auburn are popular choices with dance families and teachers alike.
Practical Tips for Buying Bloch Tights Online
Shopping tights online is much smoother when you know what to look for. Here are some genuinely useful pointers to make sure you order with confidence.
Measure First, Then Check the Size Chart
Bloch provides height and weight ranges for their tights sizing, and these are the most reliable guide. Don't assume your child's clothing size corresponds directly to a Bloch tight size. A child who wears size 6 clothing might sit between tight sizes, and in that case, it's usually better to size up slightly to allow for growth and to avoid the waistband sitting too low.
Consider Your Dancer's Primary Discipline
If your child primarily does ballet, a footed tight like the Embrace Footed Child Tights is ideal for most classes. If they also do contemporary or lyrical, a convertible style gives them flexibility without needing to buy two separate pairs. For jazz, pairing the Bloch Jazz Socks with the appropriate shoe gives a clean, professional look that most teachers prefer.
Stock Up During Key Seasons
Popular Bloch styles, particularly in smaller child sizes, can sell out during the back-to-term rush in January and February, and again before concert season. If your dancer needs a specific colour or size, it pays to order early rather than waiting until the week before class resumes.
Check Your Order Against the Studio's Requirements
Many Australian dance studios specify exact colours and styles for their uniform. Before placing your order, double-check your studio's requirements, particularly for tight colour (pink, suntan, black or white are the most common) and whether footed or convertible is specified. When in doubt, reach out to your studio coordinator or contact our team at Total Dance before purchasing.
Completing Your Dancer's Kit
Bloch tights and socks are the foundation, but a well-prepared dancer needs a few other essentials in their bag. At Total Dance, you'll find everything from the Waterproof Bag for keeping wet or soiled items separate, to the Legacy Tote Bag and Pretty Tote Bag for carrying class gear in style. For recital preparation, the Dream Duffel Garment Bag and Dream Duffel Gusseted Garment Bag are excellent for keeping costumes crease-free between fittings and performances.
Hair accessories are another area where we offer a great deal of choice. Whether you need a simple Headband for class or something more elegant like the Alyssa Rose Gold Tiara or Willow Rose Gold Tiara for performance, you'll find it alongside your Bloch order. Scrunchies like the Coral Coast Scrunchie, Florida Floral Scrunchie and Luna Scrunchie are popular with dancers of all ages, and the Sprinkle Paint Scrunchie and Sky Leopard Scrunchie add a fun, on-trend touch to everyday wear.
For younger dancers, small gifts like the Ballerina Buddies Keyring or Sign Me Bear make lovely end-of-year presents that celebrate their love of dance.
