Britney Spears who was in news for a variety of wrong reasons is planning to take “Blackout” her recent album to be publicized internationally. So she has decided to start a world tour with a series of performances around the world. She is planning to have a private one month training session for the shows to be done abroad and will leave the country in the coming month. In recent days Britney who isn’t allowed to see her own kids, was spending much time with the kids on the dance floor of the Millennium Complex in Los Angeles.

 

Britney spent more than one hour teaching the kids some dance steps for the tunes of Madonna. The kids aged between 4 -7 were unable to recognize the pop star but enjoyed dancing with Britney for the Madonna classics “Material girl”, “True Blue” and “Holiday”. It appeared that Britney was also enjoying the company of kids and the dance session with them was a great relaxation for her, after all the bad things happened in her life recently. Hopefully for her and for fans the coming world tour will be a great come back to regain her lost position in the pop - music world.
