General Size Advice for Bloch Dancewear

Girth is the Most Important Measurement
When selecting dancewear, the most relevant measurement is the girth (also known as torso length). To measure accurately, start at one shoulder, pass the tape measure through the legs, and bring it back to the same shoulder. This ensures the best fit for leotards and unitards.
Size Up if in Doubt
If you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. A snug fit is essential, but dancewear should allow for flexibility and movement without restriction.
Fabric Differences Affect Fit
- Lace leotards tend to have a smaller fit due to the fabric’s reduced elasticity. If you are considering a lace leotard, you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
- Tulle leotards offer a bit more stretch, making them slightly more forgiving in terms of sizing.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure the best fit and comfort for your dancewear. If you need further assistance, reach out for personalized advice.

How Should Children's Split Sole Jazz Shoes Fit?

1. Snug but Comfortable: Jazz shoes should fit snugly like a second skin, but they should not be too tight. There should be no excessive pressure or pinching points.
2. Toe Room: Your child's toes should be able to spread naturally and lie flat inside the shoe. There should be minimal room between their longest toe and the end of the shoe – typically about a quarter inch.
3. Growing Room: Allow a little extra room for growth, but not so much that the shoe becomes loose and difficult to dance in.
4. Heel Fit: The heel should fit securely with no slipping. The best heel fit ensures stability during turns and jumps.

Fit & Size

Fit Children: Order half - 1 size up from UK street shoe size.

Tips for Trying On Jazz Shoes:
Have your child wear the same type of socks or tights they plan to wear during performances or practice when trying on the shoes.
Let them walk, point, flex, and do a few dance moves to ensure the shoes stay comfortable and supportive through a range of movements.
Remember that jazz shoes, particularly those made from leather, may stretch slightly over time, so a snug fit initially is ideal.
