Britney Spears receives rave reviews as a children's dance teacher

Troubled pop princess Britney Spears headed back to the dance studio Tuesday -- to a teach a class of 15 children her favorite dance moves.

And the Toxic singer's mini pupils are singing the star's praises: "I like Britney," 5-year-old Elissa Bouganim, who has taken three classes with 26-year-old Britney enthuses to People magazine.

"Today, first we were dancing slow, and then faster and faster ... Then we did the fish-move and lots of other fun things," she adds.

Mother of two Britney has become a semi-regular instructor at the Millennium Dance Complex over the past few weeks – as she has settled into an uncharacteristically quiet routine overseen by her dad Jamie -- who has conservatorship over the troubled star.

"It's just amazing to watch Britney with the kids," says Elissa's mom, Pam. "Elissa won't stop dancing now, that's all she wants to do. Britney has really inspired her."

"Britney is nice," adds Elissa -- who would be be happy if Spears taught all her classes . "I want to dance with Britney all the time because it's so much fun."
