Serena Williams recounts her wedding dance preparations
During The Ellen Show, the former World Number 1 talked about how Alexis and she rehearsed for their wedding dance. She said, “I love choreographed dances. I think honestly if I could have made it big in something, it would have been dancing. Alas, I had to try tennis but it worked out, you know but I could have done something in dancing. It just took like a few weeks. I was actually pregnant the whole time we had rehearsals, was really serious about it.”
Further, she added, “We had rehearsals for months but I was always pregnant so my husband actually lifts me a few times, there were few lifts and you know, I was pregnant and I was like, okay, will do the lifts when the baby’s out. We didn’t practice the lifts until Olympia was out.”
