Junior Lerin will be one of the participants when "Let's dance" is back in March. I cried for three days of happiness, he says to Värmlands Folkblad when he received the message.

Now the first artist is clear for TV4's renovated "Let's dance": Manoel ”Junior” Marques Lerin, 47, the artist Lars Lerin's son and known from the duo's various TV programs in SVT.

You know, this was a real revolution in his life, that he gets to participate in "Let's dance". He has always dreamed of and hoped for it. So he could not get a bigger wish in life fulfilled, says Lars Lerin to VF.

Dance means a lot in Junior Lerin's life.

I want to win, I want to reach the final, but if it doesn't work out, I'm very happy anyway. Just to get to participate and show myself once, for the whole country, and treat all Swedes to my dance and my joy. That's enough for me, he says to VF.

"Let's dance" makes a comeback on March 15 after a year's pause, as TV4 has invested in renewing the program. Among other things, Johanna Nordström and Pär Lernström are new hosts.

The new jury in the program consists of artist Eric Saade, together with professional dancer Taya Shawki and chairman Tony Irving.
