She’s hooked up with choreographer Brian Friedman, who created her early routines and is the orchestrator of the [weekly dance performances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dance-convention) on ‘The X Factor.’ The November 29 performance will be the first Britney Spears has done in the UK for five years.
