Britney Spears took a well earned break from her gruelling tour schedule to treat her dancers to a game of ten-pin bowling.

The pop star - whose Big Top extravaganza is currently in New York - drove out to New Jersey with more than a dozen dancers for some last-minute lane action.

According to Brit's official website, the singer and her crew took some time out from intense rehearsals to blow off steam at the Prudential Center in Newark.

Britney also wrote on her Twitter page: "Went bowling with my dancers last night. We had the best time. PS- I got a strike!"

Meanwhile, Britney is receiving rave reviews from her celeb pals who keep dropping by to see the pop princess in action.

According to OK! magazine, Black Eyed Peas member Fergie took in a show in New York, alongside Madonna and actress Natalie Portman.
