The stage belonged to them, and they seized it with the poise of true queens. The Mayyas, Lebanon’s electrifying all-female dance troupe, dominated the competition on America’s Got Talent in September 2022, emerging as the season’s ultimate champions. Their triumphant win secured them a jaw-dropping $1 million cash prize and the prestigious honor of headlining a show at Las Vegas’ Luxor Hotel and Casino.

From their first mesmerizing audition to the jaw-dropping live finale, the Mayyas embodied the essence of their name—meaning “proud walk of the lioness”—with unshakable confidence and artistry that left audiences spellbound. And if you missed their extraordinary journey, buckle up, because their performances were nothing short of hypnotic.

The Mayyas didn’t just promise to captivate—they guaranteed it. Their audition was a masterclass in precision and mystique, earning them a golden buzzer from judge Sofía Vergara, who gushed that it was “the most beautiful, creative dancing” she had ever witnessed. Of course, this wasn’t their first time dazzling the world—the powerhouse ensemble had already conquered Arab’s Got Talent in 2019, proving they were destined for greatness.

By the semifinals, the Mayyas had taken things to an entirely new level, delivering a performance so breathtaking that it left even the toughest critics in awe. Howie Mandel dubbed it “the best moment in AGT history,” declaring that these dancers deserved to be the ultimate symbol of female empowerment. Simon Cowell, never one to exaggerate, boldly claimed their art would “change the world.”

Then came the grand finale—a spectacle of light, movement, and sheer brilliance. The Mayyas held nothing back, dazzling the crowd with a performance featuring glowing orbs, celestial imagery, and a breathtaking feathered gown that seemed to defy gravity. It was ethereal. It was iconic. It was everything.

And in the end, the lionesses roared the loudest—securing their place in America’s Got Talent history with a victory as dazzling as their artistry.
