Britney... Choreograph, Teach, Inspire!
Watching Brittney Spears dance has brought me joy through the years. Together with exquisite technique, she expresses exuberance, sassiness, and style.
Dance lets you express yourself, experience the joy of music, and have fun while exercising. It would be super cool if Britney could use her gifts to create something purposeful for those in need of inspiration, such as women in recovery, teens, and women facing significant challenges, such as poverty, discrimination, and domestic violence.
(Judging by Unilad.com’s reporting in “Britney Spears Breaks Her Silence after pleading guilty to ‘wet reckless’ charge after DUI arrest,” Britney is accepting responsibility for her actions March 4, 2026.)
Purpose heals. Purpose places us in the present moment, tables our worries, and energizes us. A 2026 Los Angeles Times article by Keith Wagstaff “A Less Obvious Way to Improve Your Health” interviews Joanna Cheek, MD, the author of It’s Not You, It’s the World: A Mental Health Survival Guide.
“Rather than chase an emotion, which is futile because our emotions are constantly shifting, we can chase purpose, which gives us a lasting sense of accomplishment, because we’re living in line with our values,” Cheek, the author, pointed out in the article.
NDI Shares “Joy and Transformative Power of Dance”
The National Dance Institute (NDI) inspires and empowers children by providing them with a creative outlet that can also serve as a coping mechanism. Renowned New York City Ballet dancer Jacques D’Amboise (1934-2021) founded the National Dance Institute in 1976 (national dance.org).
“Jacques recognized that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.“ He launched NDI to reach children in their schools, not just on stages at grand theaters. From New York City classrooms to villages in Nepal and deserts of Chile, NDI’s inclusive dance programs have touched over two million children worldwide – helping them to channel their energy, build self-confidence, and set their creativity free.”
This condensed 23-minute version of He Makes Me Feel Like Dancin’, the documentary made about Jacques D’Amboise and NDI, captures his joy of making dance accessible and irresistible to beginners.
Conservatorship Trauma
Purpose also helps one heal from trauma. “Britney’s courtroom statement was a woman’s plea for human rights,” Virginia Heffernan’s June 2021 Los Angeles Times column, sums up the unimaginable that Britney endured during her 13-year conservatorship:
“In an unconventional but poetic speech before a Los Angeles probate judge on Wednesday, Spears described the shock, trauma, and manipulation that have characterized her 13-year indenture to what she alleges is a brutal system of subjugation, medicalization and forced labor.”
Dance Movement Therapist at NAMIWalks
May 16, I attended NAMIWalks LA, held at LA State Historic Park, and watched a dance movement therapist, Maria Ninos, in action, as she guided the audience through dance moves that were both relaxing and invigorating. (Maria Ninos is a dance movement therapist at Huntington Health Hospital in Pasadena.)
Britney doesn’t need to start a dance institute, but working with forward thinking organizations whose mission is to empower those in need through the arts would place her in the company of altruistic individuals. Positive energy.
Britney…. the possibilities… inspire!
