What does Andaaz mean? Andaaz is a Hindi word for style, which we hope encompasses our team's flair! What dance styles does Manhattan Andaaz perform? Our dances draw from the diverse dance backgrounds of our team members, including Bollywood, Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Raas, Garba, Bhangra, Bellydance, Hip Hop, Ballet and Jazz.
