At least in the US/Canadian versions they are simply called 'shoes', not even 'ballet shoes'. Since they are used in the context of a ballet class, saying 'ballet shoes' would be redundant. I believe Mrs. W. is the only character who mentions them at all.

Agreed, at my studio, we always just call them shoes.

London as well. Billy says to Mrs. W. that he hasn't got any shoes, at which point, she pulls out a pair of ballet shoes, hands them to him and says, "Well, you have now. Put these on."CJ-Rochester wrote:At least in the US/Canadian versions they are simply called 'shoes', not even 'ballet shoes'.

It's just SMF saying 'BALay' in that seething, incredulous, condescending, over-my-dead-body, macho, no-son-of-mine, unfrench, Geordie-affected tone of voice!
