How “Let’s Dance” Became a Symbol of Freedom for Her Post-Divorce

Jeanette Biedermann, 44, and her husband Jörg Weißelberg, 56, are ending their 12-year marriage, marking a significant change in her life. Despite this, she is focusing on her participation in ‘Let’s Dance,’ where she is dedicated to impressing the judges through intensive training. Committed to making her mother proud, Jeanette embraces the challenges of dancing, prioritizing her health and openness to criticism while aiming to enjoy the experience rather than solely seeking victory.

Jeanette Biedermann’s New Chapter After 12 Years

At the close of January, the public received the somber news that Jeanette Biedermann, age 44, and Jörg Weißelberg, age 56, are ending their marriage after 12 years. This marks the conclusion of what many considered a fairy-tale romance. The couple first made their love public two decades ago, tying the knot seven years later. Now, however, that chapter has come to an end. Nevertheless, the former GZSZ star is not dwelling on the past; instead, she is gearing up to give her all on the show ‘Let’s Dance,’ where the ultimate goal is not just to win, but to embrace the experience itself.

Jeanette’s Determination for ‘Let’s Dance’

Despite previously declining offers to join ‘Let’s Dance,’ Jeanette is now fully committed, having devoted herself to intensive dance training. She is determined to impress the judges, Joachim Llambi, Motsi Mabuse, and Jorge González, on Friday, February 21. The dedicated performer has put in the hard work to enhance her fitness, expressing her excitement about finally living out a television dream. “I’ve received an inquiry every year for the past eight years, but I never had the time. This time it worked out, and I’m really happy about it!” she shared, highlighting her enthusiasm, especially since it’s her mother’s favorite show.

Jeanette aims to make her mother proud, yet the preparation is rigorous. “I train two hours a day, and then my concentration is gone. It’s all about body coordination. I had certain movement patterns before, and now I’m learning that my body functions differently when dancing,” she explained.

Finding humor in the challenges, Jeanette acknowledges the physical demands of dancing: “My hips have to go where they’ve never been before. The toes need to be pointed, and the legs must remain straight. It’s exhausting!” To prioritize her training, she has made significant lifestyle changes, cutting back on parties and junk food. “I’m a party person and love having fun, but I have to put that on hold for now,” she admitted, while focusing on hydration and rest.

Mental preparation is just as crucial for Jeanette. She welcomes feedback from the judges and is not intimidated by Joachim Llambi’s notorious critiques. “I’m super open to criticism. It’s beneficial if someone judges me harshly; I can remember their feedback and apply it in the next performance. Then Mr. Llambi will see the improvement!” she stated confidently.

As the first performance approaches, nerves are natural. Jeanette confesses to feeling anxious about stepping outside her comfort zone, but she feels capable of managing her stage fright. Her main goal? It isn’t just about clinching the trophy. “I’m not really concerned about winning. I just want to have an amazing time! Each show gives me the chance to learn a new dance. If I make it to the end, I’ll be proud, but that’s not my primary focus.” With each step, Jeanette dances away from previous heartaches, all while keeping her mother in mind.
