I’m looking for a book. Not sure when it took place but it’s old, 40’s or even earlier probably. The only thing I remember were girls walking to a dance and they had their dancing shoes in carrying bags. Thanks! Suggstions: one of the later Besty-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace, Rilla of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery.

You might check the Shoe books by Noel Streatfeild (Ballet Shoes, Dancing Shoes, Theater Shoes, etc.). Several of them feature little girls who take dance lessons, and they mostly (possibly all) take place in the first half of the 20th century.
