In 2019, it seems like we’re in the golden era of competitive reality television.
Ever since American Idol, all kinds of different shows and franchises have sprung up pitting the citizens of different countries against one another to see who’s the most talented.
Of all these shows, the one that’s perhaps the most diverse and globally-oriented is the Got Talent franchise. Although we mostly know it as America’s Got Talent, the truth is the franchise has offshoots and different versions of itself all around the world.
In fact, there’s even an Arab’s Got Talent, which sources all kinds of different talent from the Middle East.
Like any other version of the show, the range of acts can be just as diverse as the region’s talent base.
As it turns out, the show has even broken some other major acts that have gone on to perform on other competition shows as well.
One of the most prominent recent breakout stars from the show was Emanne Beasha, a young opera singer who even went on to a be a finalist on America’s Got Talent as well! Still, today’s performance is of a group dance ensemble called “Mayass.”
Similarly, the group won Arab’s Got Talent and went on to perform on Britain’s Got Talent.
The group does bellydance performances, though their take on them is definitely unique.
As the clip begins, the crowd cheers for what they’re about to see. At the beginning, all of the dancers are in a perfect line with one dancer in the middle leading the rest.
As it begins, the dancer makes a sharp arm gesture—and all the dancers behind her do a perfect set of arm movements on her opposite side. After that, she does it on the other side—and it all happens again.
From the very beginning, it’s clear that their choreography and discipline are totally on point.
Though the line dancing continues for a few minutes, after that, the dancers break out into a new formation.
Right before they do, all of the dancers in the back put small decorative circles on their hands as they reach them out—and suddenly, they all look like a giant peacock!
After that, everyone breaks out into a wider arrangement on the stage so that many of the dancers can be seen at once.
The entire time, one lead dancer sets the tone while the rest of the dancers follow along in tight formation.
Still, the performance truly shines when the dancers get into a new line formation again.
This time, they’re lined up horizontally in two rows, all of them linking arms. As they start at one end, they ripple all the way down and back in a perfectly fluid motion, before doing it again two different ways.
What’s striking above all is how perfectly orchestrated the entire time. To top it all off, the dancers form a perfect eye complete with eyelashes and an iris! When the eye closes, the performance is over.
And at that, they get a huge round of applause.
Since the clip was uploaded, it has earned millions of views online.
Needless to say, this video shows just why the Got Talent franchise remains so popular. No matter where you go in the world, there are people who are absolutely incredible at their talents, and they continually find new ways to stun crowds.
In the case of the Mayass dancers, they completely reinvented bellydancing and blew the crowd away.
Congratulations to Mayass on their impressive performance! Watch the full thing in the link below:
