Yet another dance show will be showing on TV. This time dance is going global. Superstars of Dance will pit the masters of various dance genres from eight countries against each other. Equal parts sporting event, rock concert and artistic exhibition, “Superstars of Dance” is poised to become one the greatest spectacles of dance performance ever seen on television. The eight countries currently scheduled to participate include: Ireland, India, USA, Argentina, China, Russia, South Africa and Australia.

Look for Shaolin Monks to represent China and Bollywood dancers to represent India. Not quite sure about the Shaolin Monks “dancing”, but Bollywood dancing takes another crack at primetime in the USA. Remember So You Think You Can Dance – Bollywood Edition back in July 2008. Is America ready for Bollywood?

Eight countries will participate in the competition with each team comprised of two soloists, one duo and one larger group. Viewers will get to know the competitors and the coaches through the trials and tribulations, both behind the scenes and on the stage. The stakes are high for these artists, as they are not only representing themselves, but also their dance form and their entire nation. “Superstars of Dance,” hosted by Michael Flatley (“Lord of the Dance”), is a breathtaking international dance competition led by executive producers Nigel Lythgoe and Simon Fuller, two of the masterminds behind “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance.”
