Lebanese dance crew Mayyas get Golden Buzzer on ‘America’s Got Talent’

DUBAI: Lebanese dance group Mayyas on Tuesday got the Golden Buzzer from Colombian actress and judge Sofia Vergara in season 17 of “America’s Got Talent.”

Mayyas — that according to the crew translates in Arabic to mean, the proud walk of a lioness — stepped out on stage wearing Arabian-inspired dancewear with beaded burqas.

In the short documentary before the group’s performance, its Lebanese choreographer Nadim Cherfan said: “Seeing the Mayyas in ‘America’s Got Talent’ is the most beautiful feeling I have ever felt.”
