DUBAI: Lebanese dance group Mayyas, who won the 17th season of “America’s Got Talent,” wowed fans with their breathtaking performance at Dubai’s The Pointe on Friday.
The crew, who performed for the first time regionally outside of Lebanon, presented two dances to the packed crowd.
For the first show, the all-female troupe stepped out on stage wearing Arabian-inspired dancewear with beaded burqas that they wore for their first show in “America’s Got Talent,” when Colombian actress and judge Sofia Vergara gave them the Golden Buzzer.
For the second show, which took place at the east stage, the group wore hot-red dresses with leather belts and danced to Bollywood beats as the audience cheered them.

After the show, Nadim Cherfan, the founder and choreographer of Mayyas, told his fans on stage: “Thank you so much, we love you Dubai. We hope you enjoyed the performance and we really hope to see you soon.”
Last month, Mayyas took home the $1 million grand prize after winning “America’s Got Talent.”
Mayyas’s show was part of the Recognizing Emerging Local Musicians (Relm) Fest, a music festival — in partnership with Anghami and TikTok — that is taking place until Oct. 23 at The Pointe.
