Edirne is a gateway of Turkey opening to western world in Thrace, the first stopover for newcomers from Europe. Situated between the Greek, Bulgarian and turkish borders, this beautiful city is famed for its many mosques, the elegant domes and minarets which dominate the panoramic appearance of the province. It was the capital of the Ottoman Empire from 1416 until the conquest of Istanbul by Mehmet II in 1453.
One of the most important monuments in this ancient province is the Selimiye Mosque, built in the 16th century by the Turkey's greatest architect, Mimar Sinan. Carrying the name of the sultan reigning in that era, this mosque magnificently represents turkish marble handicrafts and architecture, and it is covered with valuable tiles and fine paintings. The yildirim Mosque and the eski Mosque, dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries respectively, are other spectacular sights while the Muradiye Mosque and the Üç Serefeli Mosque are also among the oldest and most impressive buildings. Last to be mentioned is the beyazit II Mosque, a great monument with its complex construction comprising many facilities used in those times.
Besides the fascinating mosques, there are different sites to be visited in Edirne, all reflecting its rich past. There are attractive palaces, the most prominent one being the edirne Palace, which was the "Palace of the Empire" built during the reign of sultan Murat II. There are amazing caravansaries, like the Rüstem Pasha and Ekmekcioglu ahmet Pasha caravansaries, which were designed to host travelers, in the 16th century.
The lively bazaars of "Bedesten" and "Arasta" make the province colorful and bring back the ancient times. Several bridges exist which have stood for centuries, adorning the land with their old but fine appearances.
Ipsala, is a district of edirne province and it is Turkey's second most important border gate, on the European frontier, with Greece. It is a wildfowl paradise enjoyed by both turkish and foreigners.
A specialty of edirne is to be a center for grease-wrestling (yagli güres), which is the national sport of Turkey. Lively championships are held here every July, for more than 400 years, on Kirkpinar island, a forested area between the meriç and Tunca rivers. These traditional occasions compromize many entertaining activities, and the province is filled with spectators.
Konya is a city in Central Anatolia in turkey which has protected its name for centuries. Legend says that Perseus killed a dragon that had been ravaging the town. The people set up a special monument to honor him, a stone obelisk with an icon of Perseus carved in it. This event gave the city it's name, Ikonyon, Ikonyum, Iconium.
However, among Muslims, another legend is told. Two dervishes, friends of Allah, were making an excursion through the skies from the far away countries of horasan toward the west. When they flew over the lands of central Anatolia, one asked the other, "Shall I land?" ("Konayim mi?"). The other answered, "Sure, land." ("Kon ya!") So, they landed and founded the city of Konya.
Archaeology shows that the Konya region is one of the most ancient settlements of Anatolia. The results of excavations in Catalhöyük, Karahöyük, Cukurkent and Kucukoy show the region was inhabited as far back as the Neolithic Period (Late Stone Age) of BC 7000. Other settlers of the city before Islam were; the Calcolitic Period (Copper Age) civilizations, Bronze Age civilizations, Hittites, Frigians, Lidians, Persians, Romans and finally Byzantines.
Konya is an important place for Christians as well because St. paul and St. Barnabas came to the city on one of their journeys in Asia Minor around 50 AD. St. paul preached in Konya but they angered both Jews and Gentiles so they had to leave the city and went to Derbe and Lystra.
The first exposure of the city to Islam happened during the time of the Caliph Muaviya. Later, attacks made by Arabic Muslims, whether Emevi's or Abbasi's, yielded no results. Konya's real meeting with and adopting of Islam began some time after the victory of Seljuks at malazgirt in 1071, in the time of Kutalmisoglu Suleyman. The attacks of the Crusaders from 1076 to the end of the 12th century could not wrench the city from Islam.
Konya was the capital of Seljuks between 1071 and 1308. In 1220 alaaddin keykubad I repaired the city wall and decorated them with towers. But the city has been the site of a power - struggle between the Seljuks, Karamanoglu's, Mongols, and Ilhan's and it changed hands a few times. In the time of fatih sultan Mehmet, in 1466, Konya joined the lands of the Ottoman Empire. The first general census was made by the sultan and repeated in the time of Bayazit II, Kanuni sultan Suleyman, and Murad III.
In the time of Kanuni Suleyman, the city, which had been named as Karaman ili, reached the status of statehood. The borders of the Karaman state, which included the regions of Larende (Karaman), Seydisehri, Beysehri, Nigde, kayseri (Cesarea), Aksaray, Maras, Elbistan, and Bozok, were reduced when maras became its own state and Bozok was added to another state.
Konya was affected by the celali Rebellion. This rebellion was an outcome of the instability in the Ottoman government and land orders in the Ottoman army was defeated by the command of ibrahim Pasa, Grand Vizir of sultan Suleyman, in the Battle of Konya.
The borders of the province of Konya, which was set up in 1867, included Nigde, Isparta, icel and Teke Sanjaks. In the same year, the city was affected by a big fire and in 1873 suffered a serious famine.
In the 19th century the city appeared shabby and neglected and the city walls were in ruins and even the mosques were in terrible conditions. Many of the more recent houses were made of bricks and their lifespan was not more than 100-150 years. Commercial activity was slow. But at the end of the century, in 1896, after the railway to eskisehir was opened, commercial activity was revived. After 1902, farming with machines developed. The period of sultan Abdul hamid II was a productive one for Konya. Transport, education and restoration works flourished the city as they did in the whole of the country.
The First world War caused the decrease of manpower in Konya and throughout the country. during the occupation of Anatolia by the Allies, Konya's railway station was run by the British (January 1919). The Italian powers which occupied the city in April 1919, left the city in March 1920 during the Independence War led by Atatürk.
The most important place to visit in Konya is Mevlana's Mausoleum, the mystic poet on the way of sufism and the founder of the Whirling Dervish order. Apart from that there is karatay Medrese, which was a theological school used as tiles museum today, alaaddin Keykubat Mosque from 12th century and Ince minare (Thin Minaret) Mosque.
Antalya, Turkey's principal holiday resort in the Mediterranean region (ancient Pamphylia), is an attractive city with shady palm-lined boulevards, a prize-winning marina. In the picturesque old quarter, Kaleici, narrow winding streets and old wooden houses abut the ancient city walls.
Since its founding in the second century B.C. by Attalus II, a king of Pergamon, who named the city Attaleai after himself, antalya has been continuously inhabited. The Romans, Byzantines and Seljuks in turn occupied the city before it came under Ottoman rule. The elegant fluted minaret of the yivli Minareli Mosque in the center of the city built by the Seljuk sultan alaeddin Keykubat in the 13th century has become the Antalya's symbol. The karatay medrese (theological college) in the Kaleici district, from the same period, exemplifies the best of Seljuk stone carvings. The two most important Ottoman mosques in the city are the 16th century Murat Pasa Mosque, remarkable for its tile decoration, the 18th century Tekeli mehmet Pasa Mosque. Neighboring the marina, the attractive late 19th century iskele Mosque is built of cut stone and set on four pillars over a natural spring. The hidirlik kulesi (tower) was probably originally constructed as a lighthouse in the second century. Today a church, the kesik Minaret Mosque attests to the city's long history in its succession of Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman renovations. When Emperor Hadrian visited antalya in 130 A.D. a beautifully decorated three arched gate was built into the city walls in his honor.
Near the marina the two towers flanking the gate and other sections of the walls still stand. The clock tower in Kalekapisi Square was also part of the old city's fortifications.
On March 29th, 2006, Total Solar eclipse will be seen in antalya as well at 13:54pm local time.
The region around antalya offers sights of astonishing natural beauty as well as awesome historical remains. You can walk behind the cascade, a thrilling experience, at the Upper düden Waterfalls, 14 km northeast of Antalya. On the way to Lara Beach, the Lower düden Waterfalls plunge straight into the sea. The nearby rest area offers an excellent view of the falls; the view is even more spectacular from the sea. Kursunlu Waterfalls and Nilüfer Lake, both 18 km from antalya are two more places of superb natural beauty.
The sandy Lara beach lies about 12 km to the east. Closer to Antalya, but to the west, the long, pebbled Konyaalti beach offers a view of the breathtaking mountain range. A little further the Bey dagi (Olympos) National Park and Topcam beach provide more splendid vistas. There are camping grounds at the north end of the park should you decide to linger amid the natural beauty. For a panoramic view of the area, drive to the holiday complex on top of the Tünektepe Hill.
Saklikent, 50 km from antalya is an ideal winter sports resort on the northern slopes of Bakirli Mountain at an altitude of 1750-1900 meters. In March and April you can ski in the morning, eat a delicious lunch of fresh fish at Antalya's marina and sunbath, swim or wind surf in the afternoon. The wildlife (deer and mountain goat) in Düzlercami Park, north of antalya are under a conservation program. On the way you can stop at the astonishing 115 meter deep Güver Canyon. In the eastern side of Can Mountain, 30 km from Antalya, the karain Cave, which dates from the Paleolithic Age (50,000 B.C.) is the site of the oldest settlement in Turkey. Although the little museum at the entrance displays some of the finds, most of the artifacts are housed in various museums throughout Turkey. The ruins of the city of Termessos, set inside Güllük Dagi, a national park northwest of Antalya, is perched on a 1050 meter high plateau on the west face of Güllük Mountain (Solymos). A nature and wildlife museum is found at the park entrance.
The Archaeological Museum, with remains from the Paleolithic Age to Ottoman times, offers a glimpse of the area's rich history.
Other historical sites around antalya are: Perge, Aspendos, Side, Termessos, Phaselis, Olympos, Chimeira, Kekova, Simena, Patara, Xantos, Letoon, Pinara, Tlos, Kas, Kalkan, Aperlai, Myra and Sillyon
The province of Canakkale lies on both sides of the Dardanelles which connects the Sea of marmara to the Aegean Sea. Its shores touch both Europe (with the Gelibolu Peninsula) and Asia (with the Biga Peninsula) and there are regular ferries between the two sides.
The Canakkale Marina, besides those of Karabiga, Gelibolu, Bozcaada and Kucukkuyu, hosts the colorful yachts which pass through the strait and make a stopover at Canakkale, to see this historical and mythological rich area, homeland of many widely known legends.
The province has witnessed two very important battles in history. One of them is the mythological war of Troy, which Homer immortalized in his Iliad. Archaeological digs in Troy (Truva) have proved that there had been nine separate periods of settlement (3000 BC- 400 AD). Here, one can see the ruins of city walls in addition to the Wooden Horse of Troy. The other one is the Battle of Canakkale which took place during world War I when turkish troops under the command of mustafa kemal ataturk maintained the defense of the region against enemy forces and Canakkale has taken its place in history as "Canakkale; un-passable". To honor the 500,000 soldiers who gave their lives at Gelibolu (Gallipoli), this peninsula has been made a national park of remembrance. There are memorial monuments here in surroundings of natural beauty.
The small village of Behramkale is a lovely place, facing the Gulf of Edremit. It is founded on the site of assos where there is the famous Temple of athena built in the 6th century BC. The panoramic view of the Gulf from the top of the acropolis is breathtaking and the remains of Assos, surrounding the acropolis are worth visiting.
Gökceada, the largest of the turkish islands, and Bozcaada are also in this region and they have many camping facilities.
It lies on the European side of Canakkale which today is called as Eceabat. A titular see of Troas in Asia Minor, suffrage of Cyzicus in the Hellespont province. It was situated at the narrowest point of the Hellespont, and was famous as the legendary spot where Leander swam over to Sestus (today's Canakkale city) to visit his mistress, Hero. Here, too, Xerxes built the famous bridge of boats (480 BC) on which he crossed with his troops to a promontory on the opposite European shore then torched it to make sure that there was no return for his army.
Izmir's history goes back to 3000 B.C. according to the results of historical knowledge and archaeological excavations. Findings and many investigations have been made to enlighten Izmir's history: The continuous excavations on the Bayrakli ridges by Prof. Dr. ekrem akurgal since 1959, the discovery of the Zeus Altar by the german archaeologist carl Humman in Pergamon (Bergama) between 1866 and 1878, the discovery of the artemis Temple in 1869 by the British Wood and the continuous excavations by Austrian archaeologists at certain intervals of the city of ancient Ephesus since 1904. Also many researchers in different universities are still investigating on the city's historical development.
Many legends are known about the derivation of the name of Izmir. According to the knowledge acquired from scientific studies the word "IZMIR" came from Smyrna in the ancient Ionian dialect and it was written as Smyrna in the Attican (around Athens) dialect. The word Smyrna was not Greek, it came from Anatolian root like many other names in the Aegean Region from the texts belonging to 2000 B.C. in the Kültepe settlement in Kayseri, a place called Tismyrna was come across and the (Ti) at the beginning was omitted and the city was pronounced as Smyrna. So the city was called Smyrna the early years of 3000 B.C. or late 1800 B.C. In the turkish era the city was called Izmir.
In the years of 3000 B.C. Western Anatolia was under a rich Trojan civilization influence. The settlement areas built on the Aegean Coast also developed generally under the Trojan influence. The Hittites which Homer wrote about in the Iliad, were an active force and civilization in the Anatolian mountain pastures because the Trojans were allies of the Hittites and they had a big influence on the Aegean settlements. As a matter of fact Pitane (Çandarli) in the Bakirçay River basin and similar settlements were built by the Hittites. It is believed that the Amazons lived in the area between Caria and the Lydia which today is the sides of the Yamanlar Mountains, and they carried on their existence until the arrival of the Aiolos and the Ions. The Aiolos and the Ions who Fled from the Doric invasion around 1000 B.C., came from Greece and settled in Izmir and its surroundings. The important Aiol and Ionian settlements are as follows: bergama (Pergamon), manisa (Magnesia), Izmir (Smyrna), Urla (Klazomenai, near Cesme), Kemalpasa (Nimphaion), Cesme-Ildiri (Erythrai), Sigacik (Teos), Selcuk (Ephesus).
Until the 7th century B.C. Izmir got richer because of its trade with its neighbors especially Lydia. Its good neighbor relationships with Lydia lasted until the Lydians were conquered by the Persians. The Persian sovereignty ended with alexander the Great's arrival to Anatolia in 334 B.C. In these years, in which the Hellenistic period began, a new settlement was formed around Kadifekale (Mount Pagos) and its city walls belong to the Hellenistic period and have undergone many restorations in the following periods.
The city, which was tied to the Pergamon Empire in 197 B.C., passed into the control of the Roman Empire after a short period between 27 B.C. and 324 A.D. Roman control transformed Izmir into an important trade and harbor city. For the west, Izmir was seen as the center of Asia. In this period the Agora, Acropolis, Theater, Stadium, and constructions that did not remain up to now, like the libraries and the fountains, were built during this period.
The two roads stretching from Kadifekale (Mt. Pagos) to Ephesus and Sardis were built during the Roman period. In 324 A.D. after the Roman Empire was divided into two, Izmir had been taken by the Byzantine Empire and Ephesus especially was an important cultural and religious center in the classic Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods. An important development was not seen during the Byzantine period.
Even though Izmir came into the possession of the Hun Emperor Attila, this authority did not last long and the city re-taken the Byzantines.
Kutalmisoglu Suleyman Sah in 1076 was the first conqueror of Izmir by the Seljuk Turks. In the period that the famous sea admiral Çaka Bey was appointed as the mayor of Izmir; Urla, Foça and the Islands of sakiz (Chios), Samos and Istanköy (Cos) were conquered. After Çaka Bey's death the city and its surroundings passed into the possession of the Byzantines in 1098. Then Izmir was taken by the knights at the time that istanbul was invaded by the Crusaders. In 1320 the turkish sailor Umur Bey returned Izmir from the Catholic knights and added it to the turkish land.
In the period of the principalities, Izmir and its nearby surrounding were under the reign of the Saruhanogullari principality. Pergamon (Bergama) and its surroundings were tied to Karesiogullari principality. The reign of Izmir and its surroundings passed into the Ottoman hands completely in 1426.
The following turkish architectural constructions are distinguished examples of the turkish culture built during the Ottoman period, they have adorned Izmir for centuries: The Hisar Mosque, The Sadirvan Mosque, the hatuniye Mosque, the Konak Yali Mosque, the Kemeralti Mosque, the Kestane Bazaar Mosque, the Izmir Clock Tower, the Kizlaragasi Han (Inn - commercial building), the Mirkelamoglu and Cakaloglu Inns and other inns (trade places for spending the night), bedesten (Ottoman's special trade constructions).
Beginning with the 16th century Izmir had an important place in the world trade. There was an increase in the consulates of foreign countries especially due to the capitulations that the Ottoman government provided for Europe. It is known that these consulates participated in the trade activities and each anchored their ships in the bay.
A castle was built on the narrowest point of the bay to check the ships entering and leaving the Izmir Gulf. New constructions were built in the second half of the century to help developing of the city's trade. Among these constructions, the most important examples are the customs building in the 19th century, the sectors of packing, insurance, stock and banking.
In the years of the struggle of liberation, Izmir underwent a great wreckage with huge destructions and fires. With the driving away of the Greek army by the leadership of the great leader mustafa kemal ataturk on September 9th 1922, Izmir started to become a modern city of the young turkish Republic and developed this character more everyday.

Yup, these are my second pair, bought one in a 30 that stretched out a bit that I wear with more of a sag.Quote:Originally Posted by computurd
I usually dont post or critique but I dunno man, i kinda see where that dude was coming from, cos it ALWAYS seems to stick out at me when I browse this thread.
Rather than 'try hard' i think 'over thought' is more appropriate.
Even with just wearing a T and jeans you still look 'over thought' which isnt a good sign.
It could be just the way you stand or something, but often you look kinda uncomfortable in what you are wearing.
It looks as though you 'try hard' or are very 'anal' about measurements and getting your clothes to be 100% perfectly fitted but this 'over-thinking' is detrimental to the final fit.
eg. the tshirt in your latest fit looks like you were attempting to get a perfectly slim fitted t-shirt but it just looks a tad too tight. I reckon you easily could (should) have sized up 1 more. But I bet the reason you didnt size up one was because you would think it would look too long, correct? Thats the sort of vibe i get from your fits
same issue when I have seen you wear sweaters where they always seem to look a touch too tight or too short.
Or even with your shirts where I bet most of your shirts were tweaked by a tailor (like length and slimmed down, am I correct?) to achieve the 'perfect shirt' but it really just makes you look stiff and probably wouldve looked better if you just never got them tweaked at all
I appreciate this. I'm not the most comfortable in front of a camera for an SF regular. Re: the shirts, I don't get them altered at all, in fact, almost all of them have the sleeves too long. I'm just built where I think a large would just swim on my stomach yet fit my shoulders/chest a bit better. The fit I'm posting today is a perfect example...its a medium Armor Lux, and i tried both the M and L, the Large was swimming on me, especially the gut, yet here the Medium fits just about right, for a slimmer look. The tee is a W&H medium, and most of the shirts I post in here are Epaulet mediums. I pretty much refuse to have any rtw shirts altered. In fact, lots of people break my balls because I leave lots of my chinos unhemmed and roll them, or give em one flip.
Part of the aversion to sizing up I guess is the fact that not too long ago I was 210, a fat slob, so I like to wear my stuff, especially my shirts, a bit on the slimmer side. I know you guys don't dig that so much here, but it makes me feel good to be able to wear stuff like that and not look like a slob.
Again, I do appreciate the feedback though, so thanks.Quote:
Yea, these are the only shades I feel don't make me look like a doofis...it seems that nothing fits my face properly...feel free to offer suggestions as I desperately am searching for a nice pair. I've tried all the wayfarer sizes and they just don't work and aviators make me feel like I need to audition for Jersey Shore.post #93665 of 1176664/29/13 at 2:49pm

NYR, my one critique would be to stack, or cuff, but not both.

text: A rattleback, also known as an "anagyre", "celt", "Celtic stone", "rattlerock", "spin bar", "wobble stone" or "wobblestone" and by the product names "ARK," "Bizzaro Swirls," "RATTLEBACKS," "Space Pet" and "Space Toy," is a semi-ellipsoidal top which will spin on its axis in a preferred direction. But, if spun in the opposite direction, it becomes unstable, "rattles", stops and reverses its spin to the preferred direction. This spin-reversal motion seems, at first sight, to violate the angular-momentum conservation law of physics. Moreover, for most rattlebacks, the motion will happen when the rattleback is spun in one direction, but not when spun in the other. These two peculiarities make the rattleback a physical curiosity that has excited human imagination since prehistorical times.

Another beautiful city on the Danube
... There was courtyard with tombstones around the walls for the people buried under the courtyard. The cathedral was having the plaster updated - the guide said it lasts about 25 years - unless it floods - but the cathedral is above the flood level.
After the concert we walked through the town and popped into a few shops. So many nice things and places but ...
Bus trip to Czech Republic
We actually never made it to Passau, Germany. The ship stopped in Aschach, Austria for us to get on the bus for our trip to Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. The ship then continued on to Passau where we were taken after our tour. The water levels in the Danube are so low that the Captain was concerned that we might get stuck in Passau, so he went through the lock and docked further upstream. Overnight he said that the ship would have 20 cms clearance from the bottom of ...
... and our leisure time walk around town again, we were advised that the water levels upstream are still too low (have been for months due to a dry summer) and we are therefore going to be bused to Nuremberg on Saturday and back to our original ship the Bragi. We won't miss anything they tell us but will need to do an extra pack and unpack. An inconvenience but we are told that it is rather seamless.
Enjoy the pics and tomorrow we go to Regensberg by bus.
Passed out in Passau
... church, we spent the afternoon walking the city streets. It was cold and slightly wet, so we were happy to board the ship this afternoon. A hot chocolate was in order. After I finish this entry, a nap is next. I hope you all like the pics. Sorry, I'm not writing much. Its amazing how tired one can get walking around for just a few hours.
Hope all is well.

Day 5-The big swap day
... swap ships and continue our respective journeys.
Last night, we packed our suitcases in anticipation of the transfer. The effort was handled incredibly efficiently by Viking. While we were on the bus tour to Regensburg, our luggage was removed from the Tor and delivered to the identical stateroom on the Var. Our cruise director, Daniel, and Concierge, Stan, transferred with us. The only indication that we were on ...

Thanks, I am ashamed regarding the apartment... A lot of work ahead over the week end
Well it's not only the picture to be fair. The roped shoulder is more pronounced than I'd have liked it. The tailor let his tastes speak a bit too much for my tastes. I thought I'd get used to it but since I've got a narrow chest, it certainly looks quite substantial. They might have looked more normal and a thinner fabric but this one is a 350gr wool and that doesn't help the impression of having too much rollino
believe me at least here in north of Italy there are LOT of people having shoulders made like that and is amazing,If i'd have the money to go bespoke I'd have all my suits and jackets made like that. Expecially on a skinny figure like yourself looks nice, yeah I agree one tend to notice it a lot but it fits perfectly (at leasy according to my taste it does!).
Your taylor is REALLY good (at least that's precisely how I like a suit :D ) and you did very well letting him do.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
John Williamson (Children's)
Through most of the '70s, Williamson didn't plan on making his musical career a lifetime choice, though he did work full-time at it. By the '80s he had settled into the business and with roots like the ones he has laid down, he probably won't be leaving anytime soon. That's something I'm sure his fans are pleased to know, as if they had any doubts.
In the last decade, Williamson has begun to share his music with new fans in other countries, like England. Also, with the Internet cutting across seas and oceans within seconds, his many albums are little more than a click away from people all over the world. "Love Is a Good Woman," "True Blue," "Home Among the Gum Trees," "Prettiest Girl in the Kimberley," "This Is Australia Calling," "Raining of the Rock," and "Rosewood Hill" are a few of the hundreds of tunes that both old and new fans can try out from some of Williamson's albums. ~ Charlotte Dillon, Rovi

Employees who exhibit negative attitudes can have an extremely detrimental impact on workplace morale, according to research from leadership-development firm Fierce. However, almost four-fifths of workers say their employers are at least somewhat permissive of negative attitudes. As a leader, you can nip negative attitudes in the bud by emphasizing accountability and providing feedback as necessary.

NBC is a little bit late to the dancing-show party, but the network is hoping that its entry into the genre makes up for its tardiness with the sheer skill that will be on display.
Superstars of Dance, which premieres Sunday (Jan. 4), will bring together some of the best professional dancers from eight countries for a competition that will try to determine which nation cuts the best rug. It's the brainchild of Nigel Lythgoe, the former American Idol executive producer who also oversees FOX's So You Think You Can Dance.
"Dancing With the Stars, that's a bunch of celebrities who would like to dance. My own show, So You Think You Can Dance, is a bunch of kids who would like to be dancers," Lythgoe says. "And this is professionals that have been doing it, have made their living through it. A lot of them are world champions in their specific genre, and it's a lot of different cultures coming together. And I think that's what's the most exciting part of it for me."
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.
Michael "Lord of the Dance" Flatley and MTV personality Susie Castillo host the show. Flatley says he's been fascinated by the wide array of dance styles he's seen so far.
"It's a really nice mix of cultures," Flatley says. "When you see the precision of the Irish team and the speed at which they tap in unison, almost like an Irish Army. And then you see the Groovaloos from America that just are all over the stage popping and jumping and hopping and spinning, and doing back flips — [it's] just a sensational mix. It's intoxicating."
The divergent styles, though, can make the judging a little tricky. Lythgoe has decided to leave the audience out of the judging — partly because he figured American viewers would naturally favor the home team, and partly because pros might be better able to take into account the differences between, say, "Riverdance"-style Irish dance and the gravity-defying routine the Shaolin monks perform for China.
"At the end of the day, if you're going to try and include countries in it, you want to throw the boat open to entire countries. It just doesn't make sense," Lythgoe says. "… It's funny because it's very similar [to the Olympics]. You know, we've got a shot of the contestants waiting as the judges speak and their little faces are, What are they going to say?"
You can see what the dancers say — and do — when Superstars of Dance premieres at 9 p.m. ET Sunday on NBC. It moves to its regular timeslot at 8 p.m. ET Monday. Until then, you can check out Zap2it's Superstars of Dance photo gallery.
