Tatyana Ali, best known for her portrayal of Ashley Banks on the 1990s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” joined the cast of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 35. She’ll be dancing with pro Jan Ravnik. The 47-year-old will be reuniting with her TV brother, Carlton Banks, as Alfonso Ribeiro hosts “DWTS,” but what about her other former castmates? Tatyana told US Weekly there could be a chance.

“Maybe I can get people to come to the audience,” Tatyana teased.
Tatyana Ali and Alfonso Ribeiro Might Have to Work Together
Tatyana Ali admitted that it might take some convincing from Alfonso Ribeiro to get their friends to pay a visit to “DWTS.”
“I don’t know. We’ll have to tag team, see what we can do,” she added.
Tatyana told Entertainment Weekly that she wasn’t allowed to say anything to Alfonso about being cast. She admitted that keeping the secret was one of the “hardest parts” of the entire process. But now that the cat’s out of the bag, she’s so excited to work with him again.
“I’m excited to be on stage with him and just, you know, the cast, the rehearsals,” she told US. “I’ve heard that he comes to the camera blocking as a host. He takes that on. That’s what I’m excited about.”
Tatyana Ali’s fans are very excited to see her back on TV.
“My son and I just finished the entire seasons of ‘Fresh Prince,’ and now we’ll be cheering you on!! So excited for you!” Someone shared on Instagram.
We agree with this person who wrote, “I wish could have seen the reaction on when he found out.”
“DWTS” Season 35 debuts September 15 and September 16 on ABC and Disney+, and will stream the next day on Hulu.
