Introducing our new Tonal satin pointe shoe range

Dance should be for everyone, which is why at BLOCH we’ve launched a new collection of satin pointe shoes in complementary skin tone shades. Designed to harmonise with a varied range of skin tones, our tonal pointe shoe collection has been developed by dancers, for you.

 Each new colour is available in our best-selling pointe shoe styles, the Heritage and Balance European. You can find each colourway in all our usual pointe shoe sizing. For each new shade, you can also buy our stretch satin ribbon and pointe shoe elastic, offering everything you need to sew and prepare your pointe shoes – all in stunning tones to suit you.

Pointe shoe shades developed with dancers

At BLOCH, we’re dedicated to inclusivity and embracing the beauty of diverse complexions. When it came to creating our tonal pointe shoe range, we wanted to hear from the dancers in our community to create shoes that represent a variety of different skin tones, with a particular focus on depth and undertones.

We partnered with a number of incredible dancers from the BLOCH community to meticulously plan and develop our satin tonal collection. We would love to thank the following dancers for their support and dedication in helping us create these new shades:
