Bloch Convertible Tights – Ladies (T0982L)
Ladies convertible tights are the answer to a schedule that doesn’t stick to one style of dance. Instead of packing a footed pair for ballet and a separate footless pair for jazz or contemporary, the Bloch ContourSoft Convertible switches between the two from a single pair, so one tight covers a whole week of classes.
How does the convertible styling actually work?
A small opening at the sole lets you wear the tight fully footed under the foot for pointe and ballet work, or push the foot through and roll the opening up toward the ankle for a footless fit in jazz, contemporary, or barre. The gusset that makes the switch possible is dyed to match the tight and kept small and streamlined, so it stays discreetly hidden rather than showing through as a visible seam.
Built to hold its shape through a full week of classes
ContourSoft fabric blends 84% nylon with 16% spandex — a higher spandex ratio than a basic tight — for genuine shape retention through jumps, stretches, and repeated washing rather than sagging out after a few weeks. The waistband is wide and knitted in rather than just elastic sewn on, and sits high enough to stay put through center floor and across a full rehearsal.

This chart is a guide only and reflects body measurements, not garment measurements; come in and we’re happy to help you choose between sizes.
Best For
- Dancers taking multiple styles of class in the same week
- Anyone who wants one reliable pair instead of separate footed and footless tights
- Rehearsal and performance wardrobes where footed is required on stage
- Everyday class wear that holds up through a full season
A Note from August MuseThis is the tight we reach for first with most adult students, because it does more than one job without asking you to buy two pairs. If your studio wants footed for ballet and footless for everything else, this pair covers both. For dancers spending serious time on pointe who want a tight built specifically around that, our Free Flex Tights (T0988L) are the more specialized option — come in and we’ll help you figure out which one fits your week better.
