America’s Got Talent has had some spectacular dance groups over the years. A number of talented groups have made it to the Finals, and earned praise from the judges and audience. Let’s look back at some of the best dance groups from AGT history.


The Top Dance Groups on AGT

1. The Mayyas

In Season 17, this hypnotizing act from Lebanon became the first dance group to win a traditional season of AGT. They earned judge Sofia Vergara’s Golden Buzzer with their audition and went on to receive enough votes from America to achieve the $1 million prize. It’s not their first Got Talent win, as they previously earned first place on Arabs Got Talent.
