I am a former ballet dancer. I had this problem too. Best bet is to take her to the GP for an assessment. Its usually treatable but it can range from simple cramping to needing orthotics etc so definitely needs a GP to assess.
I used to be, but I have flat feet. I stopped dancing for a few years and when I tried to pick it up I was too unco to continue
I got this. Just cramping... But it is painful
