I think "balerinas" are dance shoes but without the front reinforcement to do points, i.e. the shoes that beginners wear. They're also a type of casual shoe - flat, rounded at the front and often with a thin bow to decorate-that you find in a lot of shoe shops. The reinforced ballet shoe is a zapatilla de ballet.
@Angelica - Some differences in the language. In Spain, Chongo = moño . Tap dance = claqué. So, zapatos de claqué.
Leotardo = malla. RAE definition: Vestido de tejido de punto muy fino que, ajustado al cuerpo, usan en sus actuaciones los artistas de circo, bailarinas, etc.
Leotardos are wool tights (panty hose ?AmE).
