LOS ANGELES: Wait is over Lebanese dance crew Mayyas have won season 17 of ‘America’s Got Talent’ and they spoke to Arab News backstage to say they ‘can’t believe what’s happening.’ With audience cheering, Mayyas jumped sky-high and took home $ 1 million grand prize.

“We can’t believe what’s happening,” one member of group said after celebrating crew’s victory on stage. “We can’t believe what we’ve achieved, giving so much energy, leaving our work and education, dedicating our time to training every day to be here to represent our country and it is what we were looking for.”

“We were very stressed out by fact that we had to (prepare dance) in two-to-three days, but when we went up on stage and heard cheers, audience gave us a push and an adrenaline rush that wasn’t there and we did it,” another member said. Crew’s choreographer Nadim Cherfan said, “This win gave me an opportunity to dream again. When you have a dream and you achieve it, you start to look for another dream. So I’m very happy that there is something to look forward to now, something to dream of something to fight for.”
