The show will look something like an Olympic competition for dance. Each of the eight nations – the United States, Argentina, Ireland, Russia, South Africa, India, China and Australia – will have solo, duet and group competitors who will face off against one another while also earning points for their country. Judges from each country will determine who moves forward in each round.
Irish Step Dancers will step it up for Ireland. Performing for India will be a Bharantanyam dancer soloist, a Kathak soloist, a Bollywood duo and a Bhangra dance group. They will be coached by Nakul Dev Mahajan, the founder and artistic director of the premiere Bollywood dance company in the United States.

Mythili the Indian solist, performed a traditional Indian dance for the crowd. It was graceful and unusual. Her hand lines were exceptional and her floor spins on her knees were perfect. She was sensual, clean and precise. The music left much to be desired though. She scored a 58 from the judges.
The Bollywood dance by the Indian team from the movie "Jab We Met", had lots of energy in this routine and I enjoyed the double spins. They were off occasionally with their synchronization though and the men were not very technical with their arm movements. The song was upbeat and that alone made me want to watch the routine.
Re: Superstars of Dance
The theme seems to be based on Strictly Come Dancing and the Dancing with the Stars shows of the BBC.
