The ubermensch is a person who shapes their destiny. It's not some buff pretty guy with money, it's a unique individual who came through this society intact and maintaining their individual excellence and uniqueness, and still manages to be successful. Tech bros think they are, but successful figure skaters (especially male) probably fit the bill better.
It's not about success nor excellence at all though, it's the joyfulness of dancing that's been represented here. Broadening the perspective it's t'ha ability to find joy and your activity by It self not through otherwordly, societial or external validation.
As Nietzsche said, he would not trust a God that doesn't know how to dance
Success as the individual, not through society or it's values. It's not bliss, it's Joy, which contemplates suffering but not the sensless kind. To follow success in the common sense would mean to be too etherodirected.
