Britney Spears headed back into the dance studio Tuesday night to teach a class of 15 children.
And her pint-sized pupils are singing her praises. "I like Britney," 5-year-old Elissa Bouganim, who has taken three classes with the pop star, tells PEOPLE. "Today, first we were dancing slow, and then faster and faster ... Then we did the fish-move and lots of other fun things."
The troubled 26-year-old has become a semi-regular instructor at the Millennium Dance Complex in the past month - as she has settled into an uncharacteristically quiet routine overseen by her dad Jamie.

The Idol Stripper!
Hernandez worked as a bartender at a gay club and the saucy snaps of that gig have landed on VoteForTheWorst.com. And yesterday, the manager of a strip club called Dick's Cabaret in Phoenix. tells the AP that Hernandez performed fully nude and did lap dances for the mostly male clientele at Dick's -- and "made good money" to boot.
After his rendition last night of "All Coming Back to Me Now," Simon was heard telling the other judges to "say I liked the way you stripped it down." Burn!
Somehow the news about David's stripperific past wasn't included in his "most embarrassing moments" package.
Sam Lutfi is reportedly going to fight the restraining order against him by putting Britney on the stand. OK! Magazine reports that Sam has contacted Brit through a third-party and asked her to help him fight the order. Sam reportedly said, "I am going to call Britney to the stand so she can tell the world how I was helping her. I am innocent. I am Britney's friend and would never hurt her."
Sam's spokesperson said he does intend to fight it. "Sam is a good guy who does not agree with this restraining order."
Sam will fight it out in court on March 17th. Sam will allege that he didn't drug Brit and that she had access to drugs from other visitors that came to the house.
So Jennifer Lopez has reportedly hired a full security team for her twins. She didn't stop there. She also hired a color therapist and a masseuse just for her babies.
A source said, "She has employed a professional baby masseuse to come in once or twice a week and is also superparanoid about hygiene. The twins' wing is totally sterile and all flowers and presents are stored in a separate room, so they don't contaminate the babies' area."
She also ordered 600-thread cotton sheets for them, diamond rattles and two ponies. WOW!
Nicole Richie's People magazine cover has outsold Christina's People cover. MSNBC's The Scoop reports that Nicole and baby's cover is on track to sell around 1.8 million copies. Christina and Max didn't even come close to that. A source said that Xtina never does well on covers.
They went on to say that people are intrigued by Nicole. "There's also a greater element of curiosity with Nicole. She's gone public about being a heroin addict. Her boyfriend is covered in tattoos. By default, she's got the more interesting baby. People want to see how she settles down. They want to see what kind of baby someone with her background has."
Jennifer Lopez is going to beat them all! JLo allegedly got paid around 6 million clams for her People Magazine cover.
The Hills star Heidi Montag's 24-year-old stepbrother, Eric O'Hara, a veteran of several combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, has lost his life in a bizarre accident at the Colorado hotel where he worked, the Rocky Mountain News reports.
