DUBAI: Lebanese dance group Mayyas, winners of Season 17 of “America’s Got Talent,” once again shared the stage with US singing sensation Beyonce for her Paris show of the “Cowboy Carter Tour.” The troupe performed alongside her during “Protector,” stepping in for her usual dancers.
“Honored to share the stage for the second time with the Queen,” posted the group on Instagram after the show on the weekend.
Choreographer Nadim Cherfan also took to Instagram to talk about the significance of the show.
“Proud to witness my choreographies come to life on the world tour of the biggest star of the century – @Beyonce – a dream turned reality on the global stage. During the darkest days of war in Lebanon, when everything around us felt like it was falling apart, we turned to creation. In silence and uncertainty, I poured my soul into these choreographies — never knowing they would one day shine on the biggest stage in the world.
“To the incredible dancers @mayyasofficial who stood by me through the chaos, your dedication and strength are etched into every step. This is our victory,” he added.
The Mayyas previously performed alongside Beyonce at the opening of Atlantis The Royal in Dubai in 2023.
“Beyonce has been my dream since I was a child,” Cherfan said in an earlier interview with Arab News. “She is the artist of my life, and working with her made my dream come true. Since then, it has been really hard to work with any other artist because, as we all know, the queen has set the standard really high. It was an experience I will never forget.”
