All about Britney Spears

Britney Spears came into the world energized!

According to her mom, Lynne, Britney was a very sweet and lovable baby. She started talking early and she also started showing her talent! Lynne says that as soon as Britney got to her feet for her first toddling steps, she became interested in music. Little Britney learned to dance as soon as she was steady on her feet, and her love of music helped her learn her steps.

Britney started dance lessons very early in her life.

She was a little ballerina and a tiny tapper and also took a basic tumbling class. As she showed proficiency in tumbling, she was quickly enrolled at a gym in Covington, an hour's drive away from her home in Kentwood, Louisiana for gymnastics classes. She excelled in the sport and won several state titles at her level. Britney's favorite events in gymnastics were floor exercise (she could really use her dance skills there) and the uneven bars. Britney's schedule was grueling. She had three hours of practice everyday, with that long drive on top of it, but the little girl's determination motivated her to stay with gymnastics until she was about nine years old.

At nine, Britney returned to her first love, dancing. This time she added singing to the mix. She joined a dance company and began traveling around the state competing in group and solo dance competitions. Britney's specialty became jazz lyrical dancing. She also sang at the events. She didn't win every competition, but did very well! Her mom says Britney never wanted to enter the same competition twice, telling her "Oh mom,if I did that, it'd be so tacky."
