Has anyone watched it?
I forgot that I recorded it. Yesterday my son and I watched Sunday and Monday's show. I like Michael Flatley, who doesn't? Dancing with the Stars annoys me with viewers voting as if it were a popularity contest and not a dance competition.
I thought this would be good. Just the judges vote.
However, the routines that were on were horrible. Out of all those 'dances', only a handful were actual dances. One was non-stop lifts, I mean, great lifts but there should have been some dance in there, other's seemed more like a gymnastic routine. I was very disappointed.
Ireland opened with a fantastic Step Dance which was great because there was actual dancing going on. I'm partial to Irish Dance anyway, so no big surprise I would like it. The second show ended with the Groovaloos. I'm not into hip-hop but these guys (and one gal) were great good, high energy, and very entertaining. First and last were excellent. It's mostly of what was in between that sucked.

I watched the first night - and other than the Ireland group ones.. the rest were nothing but gymnastics, arobics and other jumping and lifting and most certianly NOT dancing! I mean, most of the women had their feet OFF the floor 80% of the "dance". Sorry, to me that isn't dancing. And the routines were so s*xually explicit (the clothing attire also) that it was disgusting to watch. Did you see the first show with that one guy that literally disjointed himself all over? He kept saying "I am not double jointed" but all he did was jiggle his joints in time with the beat of the music.. sorry that was not only not a "dance" but it was gross. I won't be tuning back in unless I know I'll get to catch the Ireland dances.

That dude was so disgusting! Dance? More like mime and nasty mime at that!
And those judges are on drugs or something, he got 10s, he'd be lucky if I gave him a 1. Maybe these are all new dances so I can understand why I wouldn't like it, but my son, age 17, watched it with me and had the same opinion of every single dance. If this is the future of dance, then I'm out. No watching for me.
I think I'm going to record it and just watch the Ireland dances. I love those best anyway and I love Celtic music, so it'a win-win for me there. I'll just fast forward through the rest.
I am so disappointed in this show. I thought it would be about The Dance. Why is it all these shows with 'Dance' in their titles, don't have much to do with dancing?
I'll stick with Dancing with the Stars, at least I get to see actual dancing.

Hi thelastwolf113! Yes, I watched Superstars of Dance on Monday. It's a pretty nice program. Some of the dancers were kind of lame, and only preformed arobics but there were some good dancers also like the girl who did classic ballet, the classic Indian dance was fantastic, Irish dancers were tops, and Russian dancers were good. I really don't know where those judges were coming from, they didn't rate some of the dancers fairly most of the time. I think the judges were funny. There was one Chinese judge and he never said a word as to what he liked or disliked about the dancers. And this Argentina judge gave rude responses to the dancers and seemed annoyed with just about everyone. Anyway, I got a good laugh out of watching this show. The American group who performed street dancing were awesome. I thought the show was entertaining and will watch it again.

I liked the traditional dances. But, as you say, most of it was aerobics/gymnastics. I guess I expected too much from this show. Imagine that, I expected dancing, LOL
That Argentinian lady was mean, there was no cause to be so rude. I don't even like street dance, yet, that last group, The Groovaloos, were amazing. You have to give credit where credit is due.
Me and my son kept saying Bah, like the Chinese dude for the number 8, LMAO.
I'm going to DVR it, so I can fast forward the gymastic/aerobic routines.

I had high hopes for it too. I was quite disappointed. I don't know if I will watch it anymore or not. I have two other shows on at the same time and can only DVR 2. I don't think this one will make the cut.
I thought the duet of those girls about the photographs was pretty good, yet it got trashed by the judges.
I want to see real dancing. Not a girl balancing on some guys shoulders.

I hear you! Ireland was the only country that did only real dance for each and every routine.
