Bloch dancewear Australia dancers trust for tights, socks and studio basics. Consistent sizing, durable fabrics and styles built for real training.

Why Bloch Works for Serious Dancers

Bloch has been dressing dancers for decades. The materials hold their shape wash after wash. The stitching survives heavy rehearsal schedules. Sizing stays consistent across styles, which matters whether you are buying for one dancer or restocking a whole class mid-season.

Tights That Fit and Last

The Embrace range is the standout in this collection. Two styles to know:

Embrace Convertible Tights (child and adult sizing). The convertible foot opens at the sole, so dancers can go from ballet to contemporary without changing. Available in a full AU size run.
Embrace Footed Child Tights. A clean, reliable footed style for younger students. Smooth construction sits neatly inside ballet shoes without bunching.

Both styles are cut with a high cotton-blend content. They breathe during class and keep their colour after repeated washing. Size up if your child is between sizes and growing fast.

Socks and Studio Essentials

Jazz Socks. A low-profile sock designed to sit inside jazz shoes and character shoes without slipping. Ideal for students who need grip and a neat line through the ankle.
Elastorib. A durable elastic used by teachers and costume makers to finish waistbands, straps and shoe ribbons. Sold by the metre and worth keeping in the studio kit.

Sizing Tips for Bloch Tights

Bloch tights follow AU children's sizing based on height and weight. Always check the size chart before ordering. For footed styles, foot length matters as much as height. For convertible styles, sizing can be a touch more generous since the open foot reduces pressure points.

Measure height and weight together, not just age.
If your dancer is between sizes, size up for footed tights and true-to-size for convertible.
Adult sizing follows standard AU women's sizing from XS through to XL.

Fast shipping across Australia and New Zealand on all orders.
