A year or so later Britney moves to New York with her mother and sister, where she attended two dancing schools (Professional Performing Arts School and Dance Center, a renowned off-Broadway organisation) the following three summers. At the same time she takes part in several TV-commercials and theatre played on Off Broadway. When Britney reached 11 she attended the entrance examination at "Mickey Mouse Club" again, and finally becomes one of the 20 mouseketeers!! About 3 years later "Mickey Mouse Club" stops and Britney returns to Kentwood, where she attends a private high school. Only a year or so pass and Britney gets bored with her school and her father realizes that she is serious about her singing and dancing. They establish contact with an attorney in New York (Larry Rudolph), who has successfully worked with Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and 98�. She receives a demotape from Larry, that she sings over.
