Bloch's philosophy of listening to dancers is still as strong today as it was when Jacob Bloch made his first pair of pointe shoes in 1932. Jacob arrived from Europe in 1931 at the height of the Great Depression and began making shoes by hand in the workshop where he lived. Jacob's repuation for making good dance shoes spread rapidly.

Today jacob's family is still listening to dancers. In addition to shoes, Bloch makes a comprehensive range of dancewar apparel, dance shoes and accessories designed specifically for dancers. One of Planet Dance's strongest brands, we are delighted to bring you an extensive range of Bloch Dancewear including beautiful Bloch leotards and separates, Bloch dance shoes, from Pointe Shoes to Tap Shoes, together with a fabulous range of Dance Bags and Accessories.
