Is emotional health & happiness always more important than quality training?

DD isn't terribly happy at the school she does training at; it's been brewing over time (probably best part of a year)

The training is good & she has a scholarship; but she isn't confident and is often unhappy

She spent a week at a holiday class which she has loved and she has come home considering giving up her classes/scholarship.

I'm ambivalent as I worry about her happiness but I am a bit Hmm about losing the scholarship & maybe about finishing it before anything else replaces it (not sure I want her home that much Wink)

What do you think?

Yes now you see I'm not that much of a fan of Ballet (but I was in awe at the ballet at the end of Carousel).

I'm more of a Fred & Ginger girl - my total fav bit of choreography is Fred & Cyd Charisse 'Dancing in the Dark' from Band Wagon......I want to dance that piece I'd never be good enough

Mind you the whole of that film was pretty amazing
