Shayni notelovitz biography of williams sisters

Her real-life mother Avi, 45, a primary school teacher in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, has taken Shayni to dance class every day for 10 years. I never knew what I wanted. I can remember when Shayni told me she wanted to be a ballet dancer. She was four years old and I was giving her a bath. I did this silly little ballet dance in the bathroom for Shay, ridiculing the idea.

So I took her to ballet and she was a natural. When I became a mother, I made a pact with my husband Leon that we would always help our children live their dreams. If our little boy Gadi says he is going to be a professional footballer, that is what he is going to be. You have to let them have these amazing goals and aspirations. I take her to classes every evening and all day Saturday — 18 hours a week.

When she started high school, she was struggling to fit the dancing in and it was making her miserable. We gave her the option of going to a performing arts school but she wanted to stay with her friends so we made the deal that she is going to concentrate on the core subjects — English, maths and science — and the rest she just needs to listen in class and get by.
