In a fascinating tale of flair, Serena Williams has a hidden beat that she dances to in her spirit. At times she has taken the world by storm not only with her racket swings but also with her celebratory dance moves. But she is not the only dancer in the Williams clan; her elder sister Venus Williams often likes to put her dancing shoes on.

After the win, she danced her heart out with her older sister present to encourage her. But when it came to keeping up with the latest dance styles, Venus fell short, and for obvious reasons.
