Britney Spears took a step in the right direction when she appeared at Millennium Dance Studio last night to teach a dance class for a group of children ages four to eight.

Always appropriate, Britney wore a green top with short-shorts, red boots, fishnet stockings and a tie. Inside the training session, Britney introduced herself to the seven kids, asked them if they liked Madonna, and taught them routines to Madonna classics "Material Girl" and "True Blue."

Parents were not allowed in, but there were no complaints of odd behavior coming from Spears. Britney was said to be loving the experience, and rumors are circulating that she will be teaching another free children's class at Millennium sometime this week.

One parent voiced her doubts about the troubled pop star's methods, saying to "Extra," "No adults...I don't know about that one."

Britney has not seen her own children since Jan. 3 after a well-publicized custody dispute with Kevin Federline.
