Mayyas are first Arab/Lebanese Dance group to perform on America’s Got Talent
All-female dance group Mayyas are the first Arab/Lebanese dance group that America’s Got Talent has ever had. The group appeared on Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions and also won Arab’s Got Talent in 2019.
Mayyas impressed fans with their powerful, hypnotizing and synchronous choreography. Their inspiring first audition impressed judge Sofia Vergara, who awarded them her Golden Buzzer.
Judge and executive producer Simon Cowell called their final performance “astonishing, global and huge.” Howie Mandel exclaimed it was “his favorite act ever on ‘AGT.’” Heidi Klum said, “This is what a million-dollar act looks like.”
The Mayyas is an all-female alternative dance crew, founded by choreographer Nadim Cherfan, comprising of 36 Lebanese women of different ages. Their main message is female empowerment. The name of their group stems from an Arabic word, meaning the proud walk of a lioness.
“From the moment I first saw the Mayyas, their act was spectacular and gave me goosebumps,” said Sofia. “Their coordinated choreography was the most beautiful, creative dancing I have ever seen. Their empowering performances have earned them the ultimate title and I’m so proud of them and can’t wait to see what they do next.”
