Tennis ace Serena Williams is twerking towards Olympic glory in Rio.

The tennis champion has released a new instructional dance video ahead of the Brazilian games in which she teaches fans how to dance - and twerk.

In the video, she runs through different moves including a warm up, a transition and then a 'basic shake' in which she wiggles her bottom.

But Williams appears to be a big fan of the final move, the twerk.

'Everyone, at some point, should do a twerk,' she says in the video

She said people should bend their knees, get low, keep their tummy and back tight , slowly slide 'and twerk , and twerk, and twerk' while moving her bottom.

Williams has won four gold medals at the Olympic Games - Gold in the singles and doubles in London, gold in the doubles in Beijing and gold in the doubles in Sydney.
