BLOCH sizing varies between dancewear and footwear styles. For garments, use actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For shoes, use measured foot length as your starting point and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

For BLOCH leotards and other fitted dancewear, girth is particularly useful because it reflects the full length of the torso. For children's garments, use age as a reference only and prioritise actual body measurements whenever possible.

Take dancewear measurements over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. For shoes, measure both feet while standing and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.
BLOCH produces footwear for many different dance disciplines, so there is no single BLOCH shoe conversion that accurately predicts the fit of every model. Ballet, jazz, tap, character, contemporary, dancesport and studio shoes can all use different fitting recommendations. Use the international shoe tables above as a reference only and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

BLOCH Contoursoft Free Flex Professional Ballet Tights
Designed for serious ballet training and professional performance, the BLOCH Contoursoft Free Flex Professional Ballet Tights combine the renowned comfort of BLOCH's Contoursoft™ collection with innovative Free Flex technology, allowing dancers to move seamlessly between barre, centre work and pointe. Created specifically for the demands of modern ballet, these tights eliminate the need to cut traditional conversion holes, helping dancers prepare more efficiently while maintaining a polished, professional appearance.
