I hope your daughter can get past the disappointment of not having a "perfect" spine. As long as she is pain free and the progression is stopped so she doesn't have heart or lung issues, then those are the really important things. I don't even know if her dancing will be affected. They probably gave her some temporary restrictions.
My DIL was fused at 16. She didn't get a perfect correction, either. She had a highly rotated 48o curve. She is left with a curve in the low 20's, too. She also still has a rib hump in the back. BUT... she's happy it's over and happy with the correction she got. She does just about anything she wants to do. Right now I don't think she has any restrictions, except for what she restricts herself from doing due to pain (they left a long piece of rod in there attached to nothing that digs into her muscle once in awhile).
