Britney attended dance classes in her child hood, also she was a great gymnastics. At that time, she decided to return to dancing and joined a dance company which toured the state competing in solo and group dance competitions. Britney tried out for "Mickey Mouse Club", when she was 8 years old. At age 11, she again tried for "Mickey Mouse Club", and this time made it as a mouse keteer along side many stars. After two years performing on the popular children's TV show filmed in Orlando, Britney returned to Kentwood for one completely normal year of high school at age 14. Her big break, however, came when she was signed as a Jive Recording Artist in the late 90s.
