Bloch

Bloch in the dance world is one of the most well known brands, creating shoes and clothing for all styles and forms of dance. Even my very first pair of ballet slippers were made by Bloch and for years I wore their point shoes. Not only do they make dance wear but over the past few years they have created a line of street shoes. Mainly flats to be more precise; they do retail for a bit steep but the comfort of these shoes makes up for it! The shoes themselves are extremely flexible with the majority of them being made of soft, smooth leather. When I stumbled across the shoes about a year or two ago I was really impressed with the design; they were not your average flat thats for sure! This past line has incorporated more styles, a few short wedges, sandals and what most excited me were their oxfords!

These were my favorites!










The little ballerina prints are from the girls line

Dance Love

Yes, we are dancers!
We love love love love it, even all the frustrating moments.
Actually, without dance we would have never met at the ripe age of 3 at our Saturday morning ballet class! Over the last 13 years that we have been dancing, we have learned that dance is not only an activity, but it teaches you many life lessons. It lets us get away from reality. . . even if it is for only a few minutes!

Here are a few pictures from a solo practice a little while back. We both ended up doing really well in competition receiving golds as well as scholarships!

P.S.
This is not our studio, it's one we rented at the U of S and the lighting is pretty unfortunate.
