For Britney, It's a Dance-Dance Revolution

Posted Mar 5, 08 2:44 PM CST in Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Britney Spears has become a semi-regular children's dance instructor at a North Hollywood studio—and her students love her. "Britney is nice," 5-year-old Elissa Bouganim tells People. "I want to dance with Britney all the time because it's so much fun." Elissa gave the on-the-mend pop princess a picture of Tinkerbell to show her gratitude.

“Today, first we were dancing slow, and then faster and faster," Elissa elaborates, adding, "then we did the fish-move and lots of other fun things." Parents appear to be on the 26-year-old's bandwagon, too. "Elissa won't stop dancing now, that's all she wants to do," her mother says. "Britney has really inspired her."

    Cost of Bringing Up Baby: $204K Raising that little bundle of joy will come with a not-so-cute $204,060 price tag for middle-income families, according to a new government study. Factoring in inflation, the parents of a child born in 2007 can expect to spend $269,040 by the time that baby turns 18. Actual costs vary according to income and location, with the urban West the most expensive region to raise children and rural areas the least expensive. And, of course, the little darlings become more expensive as they get older. More »
