According to Britney's mom Lynne, Britney was a sweet baby and started not only talking early, but also showed her talent for dancing already very soon - as soon as she learned to stand and walk, she strated dancing already and loved music.
Soon, Britney took her first dancing lessons, was enrolled at a gym in Covington, near her hometown Kentwood, Louisiana, excelled in sports and won some titles.
Three hours a day she practiced until she was nine.
Then she returned to dancing, and added singing as well. Soon she travelled around the state with a dance company, and was in competitions with the group, and solo. Her specialty was jazz lyrical dancing, she sang at the competitions as well, and she did very good.

When a producer of the Disney Channel's "Mickey Mouse Club" saw her, he asked her mom to fly to New York and get Britney her first agent.

Britney studied at the Off-Broadway Dance Center and at the Professional Performing Arts School. During this time, she appeard in some commercials and played in some Off-Broadway productions including Ruthless (1991) - based on the thriller "The Bad Seed" from 1956 .... and she enjoyed playing an evil child!

At age 11, Britney became part of the "Mickey Mouse Club", dancing, singing and acting on the popular TV show.
When the show ended, she returned to her hometown and went to high school for a year, but missed travelling, dancing and singing.

At age 15, Britney was given the chance to audition for a girl-group, but decided she would do better as a solo performer. She went back to New York, and got a contract with Jive Records!
