Is a free period frowned upon?

My D takes one free period, which because of a block schedule, happens every other day. She is a professional ballet dancer who trains or rehearses 15-20 hours per week. This enables her to perform at a high level in and out of the classroom while still getting something resembling reasonable sleep. If you need the time to maintain your physical and mental health, I say go for it. Two free periods might be a bit much, though.
