(AFP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>DUBAI, Broadcasting News Corporation : The Lebanese dance troupe Mayyas, who were named winners of season 17 of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d last week, returned to Lebanon on Friday to a hero\u2019s welcome with colorful bouquets, heart-shaped balloons and posters gifted to them by their families, friends and fans. Clips of a large crowd cheering for the all-female crew as they arrived at Rafic Hariri International Airport circulated on social media. \u201cYou made Lebanon proud,\u201d read the posters. On Thursday, the group took home the $1 million grand prize after winning \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent.\u201d \u201cWe can\u2019t believe what\u2019s happening,\u201d group member Marcel Assal told Arab News after the show. \u201cWe can\u2019t believe what we\u2019ve achieved \u2014 giving so much energy, leaving our work and education, dedicating our time to training every day to be here to represent our country, and this is what we were looking for. \u201cWe were very stressed out by the fact that we had to (prepare the dance) in two-to-three days, but when we went up on stage and heard the cheers, the audience gave us a push and an adrenaline rush that wasn\u2019t there and we did it,\u201d added Assal. The crew\u2019s choreographer, Nadim Cherfan, said: \u201cThis 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\u2019m very happy that there is something to look forward to now \u2014 something to dream of, something to fight for.\u201d NEWS COLLECTED FROM ARAB NEWS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DUBAI, Broadcasting News Corporation : The Lebanese dance troupe Mayyas, who were named winners of season 17 of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d last week, returned to Lebanon on Friday to a hero\u2019s welcome with colorful bouquets, heart-shaped balloons and posters gifted to them by their families, friends and fans.
