Bloch is an Australian retailer based in Sydney that specializes in dance footwear and related products. The business traces its origins to the early 1930s, when Jacob Bloch, an Eastern European craftsman, handmade pointe shoes for dancers around the world, soon expanding to a full dance range. Now in the hands of the third generation of Bloch family leadership, the company has earned international recognition as a key player in the technical dance market. Bloch has also expanded into a street-oriented fashion line inspired by dance, broadening its offerings beyond traditional performance shoes. Its products emphasize design, material selection, and construction that reflect the needs of dancers and the discipline's technical demands. In 2022, Bloch Pty formed a partnership with the Queensland Ballet Company, underscoring ongoing ties with professional ballet institutions.
