No? You're daughter is a professional dancer. She is selling a product, namely her talent. Part of making the sale is having the tools at her disposal to do so namely her shoes, costumes, make-up, etc. You need to seriously re-evaluate the situation and realize that checking a bag on an airline is no guarantee that it will arrive with you at your destination. I challenge you to find any such guarantee in any airline's contract of carriage.

Just like the old FedEx commercials used to say..."When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight." If my employment, or potential employment, were dependent on having certain things on my person at my destination at a particular date and time I would either carry them on my person or ship it FedEx. Hope you learned a valuable lesson this time.
