This is quite normal: and common. Stress, illness, weight loss, extreme sports activities (especially running and dancing) can cause menstrual irregularities, but having 30-60 day cycles persistently or occasionally is quite normal. Please discuss with her doctor if it's longer than that. Also, need to consider pregnancy, if she is indeed sexually active....
