Bristol spoke with the magazine and said she is committed to dressing modestly not only on the dance floor, but also during rehearsals to try and be a positive role model for other teens and her son, Tripp.
The 19-year-old daughter of former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin told People she is naturally shy and doesn't like the intense media glare that comes with being the child of a politician. She went on to say she believes her personality will carry over on the DWTS dance floor and in the way she dresses.
Saying she has always been a modest person, Bristol vows to have the most clothes on during the show and stay true to her commitment to being a positive voice to abstinence.
Bristol told the magazine she wants to be an example for other young girls and teenage mothers, but more importantly she wants to set a good, wholesome example for her son Tripp. Bristol told People, "I see this as something that's fun and that's positive and I'm going to be able to show my work ethic to people out there."
In an interview with RadarOnline Palin talked about single mothers saying, "Yes, we can balance work and family, and we can also take on a new and exciting challenge."
Bristol also talked about her dance partner Mark Ballas, saying she worried the veteran Dancing With the Stars dance partner had his work cut out for him since she is a complete novice. "I have no experience in dance. But I come from an athletic background, so I'm thankful for that. Basketball, volleyball, soccer, everything."
ABC has already announced Sarah Palin and her husband Todd will make appearances in the audience along with members of Jersey Shore in support of Mike Sorrentino.
The entire cast list of Dancing With the Stars Season 11 was announced on ABC Monday night during the new reality show Bachelor Pad. Bristol Palin will be joining other cast members David Hasselhoff, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino of Jersey Shore, Audrina Patridge, Michael Bolton, 'Dirty Dancing' star Jennifer Grey, 'Brady Bunch' mom Florence Henderson and former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner.
The show will premier as a two night event on ABC September 20th at 9PM EST.
