Would You Let Britney Teach Your Children?
Do not get me wrong. I think it's great that Britney is doing something with her life besides wasting her life chasing Frapps and driving around aimlessly buying lipsticks at Rite-Aid at 3AM. She taught a class of 4-7 year-olds at Millennium Dance Studio, doing simple routines to songs like Madonna's True Blue and Material Girl (I always liked that song) and spent time preparing for an upcoming music video and supposed world tour:
In addition to choreographed routines to vintage Madonna songs "True Blue" and "Material Girl" and "Holiday," Spears – wearing ripped fishnets, red boy-shorts and a blue top – also allowed her pupils to free-style dance."She even played age-appropriate games in a circle, pretending to be a choo-choo train," [director of Millennium Dance Studio Robert] Baker said. "Britney was just amazing with the kids and everyone ended up having a blast. At the end of the hour class, all the kids hugged Britney and she seemed very happy." [...]
The kids, aged 4 to 7, were selected from the studio's junior program. "The parents gave their permission," Baker said. "They were thrilled. One parent summed it up: 'It's a once in a lifetime event.'"
Well, maybe not. Spears had so much fun, "She asked to please teach a class tomorrow," said Baker, a longtime Spears friend. "We plan to put together a group of about 20 kids for her."
After the class wrapped up at 7 p.m., Spears – who has rehearsed at Millennium three times since Friday – spent another hour and a half working on a dance routine for her single "Hot as Ice."
"She seems very focused about getting back into her old life," said Baker. "[She's] focusing her energy on creating and dancing."
Okay, I like that she's doing something creative and positive. But seriously. Take away the fact that this is Britney Spears for a moment. If I were the parent of a young child, preschooler or elementary school child, and I saw this coming to teach my kid, I'd grab them and run the other way as fast as I could. Can't somebody take her to the side and explain that this probably isn't the most appropriate thing she could be wearing in this situation? I mean, I get that dancers wear certain things to rehearse in, for ease of movement and comfort. But couldn't she at least put on a bra? You've had two kids, honey, get those ponies in a corral.
