"Superstars of 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."
The series is hosted by Michael Flatley ("Lord of the Dance") and co-hosted by Susie Castillo ("House of Payne"). The unique series pitches 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.
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. The eight countries currently scheduled to participate include: Ireland, India, USA, Argentina, China, Russia, South Africa and Australia.
"Superstars of Dance" is the first production from Big Red 2 Entertainment - an entity formed by Nigel Lythgoe ("American Idol," "So You Think You Can Dance") and Simon Fuller ("American Idol," "So You Think You Can Dance") who serve as executive producers.
