After the First World War, she studied functional gymnastics with Hedwig Kallmeyer (1884–1948) using the Bess Mensendieck system . Bloch published a series of books on functional gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics for children and women.
She married the architect Oskar Bloch (1881–1937), who built a house for her in Stuttgart, Zeppelinstrasse 32, in 1929/30. She was registered at the address under the name Alice Tank-Bloch from 1920 to 1933 and headed the Orthopedic-Gymnastics Institute there. After the handover of power to the National Socialists , the Israelite Religious Community of Württemberg ran a Jewish sports school for the Reich Representation of German Jews there from 1935 to 1938 under their direction to train Jewish sports teachers for the Jewish schools in the German Reich. During that time, 70 sports teachers were trained.
Bloch emigrated to Switzerland in 1939 and from there to Palestine .
