NEW YORK — Tyra Banks is gearing up for the big « Dancing with the Stars » premiere and her first night as the show’s new host. She says that she wants to bring her own fresh take and bring a new, younger audience into watching the show, while still preserving the classic elements of ballroom dancing that longtime fans love. Banks said she had to ask herself the important question of, « What could I add to this? » »It’s really important for me to not just step in and be host, but really truly bring something unique to it and also see how I could bring my audience to it. So, after some thought and time talking with the ABC team they were like, ‘We really think you can do this and we really want you to,’ and I said, ‘You know what? So do I,' » Banks said. She says that the show will experiment with some popular dance and see how the audience at home feels about it and likes it. While you may not see a lot of Banks busting a move on the ballroom floor, she says you shouldn’t rule it out either.
