."Bollywood" is the popularly used term for the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai. Over time, the vivid song and dance numbers from Hindi films gave rise to a new style of dance: a mixture of classical and folk dance styles from the Indian subcontinent, fused with western influences.

Founded in the Spring of 2011, Nazar had its debut performance at India Day in August 2011 Having derived our name from the Urdu word for “gaze of the eyes”, expression, passion, and energy form the bedrock of our dance philosophy.
