I haven't heard anything about next year's new L5 stressing dance any more than this year. ??? Maybe I'm misinformed.
Without knowing your child and her capabilities, it's hard for anyone here to say whether it would be a good decision to move her up. Some girls struggle in compulsories with all the details and never score really high. However, scoring around 30 suggests some pretty big problems with the major skills in the routines, in my opinion.
I posted in another thread about the coach at a YMCA gym near me who desperately wanted an optional team. Her team only went up to L5. So she tried to push the girls who were OK L5s a year ago to L7 now. Only a couple of them scored out of L6 in the fall..with a 31 and 2-3 tenths. They continue to have big struggles in L7. In their case, I don't think they had a good foundation in L6 skills to do L7 successfully.
Again, not knowing your daughter, gymnasts need to have a good foundation in L5 skills to move on successfully.
