Crew stats will be posted in coming weeks from Nov 19th, 2023. Some independent projects(are posted) and those were also assigned with full specs/leadership/technique list and entire supervision/with approval of clients from Hetal. Students too were Hetal’s own students! Thus,

2014-2015 : The project of uploading all the company developments/activities specifically of Hetal Joshi M, Hetal Nagaraj (being an owner, highest contributor due to availability, and the only full timer to the company) and the company’s uploads on social medias were initiated in 2014-2015 by Ms. Jinal Shah(not to mistake with Jigar Shah) and Ms. Jaimini Vyas/Raval, Dubai/India. (Not to mistake with Mr. Jaimin Patel-USA) to highlight the extra ordinary achievements which were exceptional in 2014 itself.

This blog was also an effort for performing arts research students that initiated the need for the first blog post for a research publication (required one public post from the submission coordinator – Hetal Joshi M/Hetal Nagaraj). Since then, it is also used for highlighting the accomplishments/achievements of the company and the activities under Ms. Hetal’s leadership as well.

However, the need for pictures/activity count/activity upload was triggered initially due to regular requests and requirement for transparency/visibility with full specifications by publicly declared award org such as news/publishing houses/mainstream media.

Why Grace And Grooves dance school students don’t perform that often in culture activities

Why our dance school students don’t perform in culture activities that often ?

Because there are so many culture and community shows and the dates of submission of these programs are atleast 1 month prior. Our curriculam classes start by date to date with a year round program with holidays and a full structure by genre, by skill, by age group. The program was designed this way by hetalnagaraj so that she can spend time with her family and still she can deliver the projects as well as all that she loves to do with 100% results and successful delivery!

Students should learn to balance their life and learn all activities along with education and with family just like the way she learned and it makes life! See this : http://www.hetaln.com!

Also, we never had anybody full time till date – HISTORY in that. And so, Hetal takes limited batches by location, genre and because of this automatically it becomes easy for her to focus on curriculam programs than jumping to different culture programs with delivery dates.

And yet, we have programs that are by delivery date that are conducted seperately than regular programs as in packages. We have delivered successfully entertainment programs too! Those run entirely seperate on seperate pace and levels.. Record breaking package classes!

For learners, aligning the date to perform as a rush becomes a tedious job. This is because the bodies are learning skills/mastering muscle memory and in that, how much will you push. Dance cannot be sports because in sports, expressions and poise is something that is not required! In dance, everything is required with emotions as per dance and the moods. Kids find it difficult to smile or express as per dance requirement if kids are going through “rushed training”. This often leads to burn out and the whole delicacy, smooth delivery, poise, expressions, elegence, body toning, conditioning is compromised just to perofrm. In longer run, this results to unhealthy habits to body often leading to injuries and sprains. Students don’t learn to focus on several aspects as in personality itself. See our Hetal Nagaraj, despite of several sports injuries, all this is achieved in performing arts – after the sports injury!.

Dance is so pure that it was never meant to hurt anybody the time it started! Look one of the example that we have achieved in performing arts because of our straight background. Dance is this pure. click here. Several other examples are set here.

Do you know the audiences that we talk about usually “come to see only us” for performances, workshops and so on!

Being a dance school with a structured curriculum and level by level skill sets and by date classes, our routine dance school students performance rarely aligns with local cultural shows submissions or date of performance.

Our submissions are entirely different and are often commercial.

Unlike several dance schools that push on performing to align with dates of performances, our curriculam runs independently with our own in-house shows that are planned as per curriculam completion by date and skills achievement.

***It is very much like your child completing 9 weeks in your school and expected to learn some skills or knowledge in those 9 weeks by each subject/program or genre or category.

This is also the reason why our curriculam supplements to several ISDs and programs in several schools. We have worked with more than 6 ISD-schools and about a dozen institutes/colleges for various programs. This is exclusive to Hetal Nagaraj’s own knowledge as her entire training was year by year, skill by skill at her institutes by each genre, one step at a time or twice a week or thrice a week programs + commercially she has performed by genre and category. So students are taught everything!

More about hetal’s payout : Click here.

Here’s why she has never applied for ISD positions : Click here.

Ever applied to hollywood/bollywood : Nope. Here’s why.

So you will rarely see our groups performing in local community or culture shows. And there are so many culture shows. There are several students & elites or pre.elites who may not have performed in any culture shows or these students dance at only our in-house programs.

Obviously, in 12 hours it is expected to see some results for most average beginer level students & so onn at different levels w/age.

This includes our own workshops and several other activities we do. However, Hetal Nagaraj Dance is hired by org/schools/universities/companies/institutions & so onn or parents for their own performances at those community culture programs and those group packages are held seperately w/date of delivery in mind. Occasionally, company releases these pkgs too on request from several intermediate students with goal in mind! These pkgs are by demand only.

And yes, students learn by level, skills , category and genre too. Hetal Nagaraj has a straight/transparent background level by level year by year(avg 52 hrs min). Thus, Hetal Nagaraj Dance has a dedicated admin that handles her own + company activities! It is the other way round because of her own schedule by activity & field is this “high”.

New to you? From 400 ppl to 2000 ppl for workshops & in her own shows or activities and upto 4000 ppl for entertainment successfully entertained under @hetalnagaraj, Hetal Joshi M exclusively + the team efforts at Grace And Grooves Group of Companies.

@hetalnagaraj bags them all. For culture/community shows up to 10,000 audiences entertained with a “live” in 4 countries on stage under @hetalnagaraj.

Looking for “bigger number audiences” ofcourse & exclusively ours preferred. Define part-time. Programs such as bharatanatyam commenced in 2014-15, amongst our latest offering & students by category have performed and won awards too in all types of activity. Students learn everything including $$$.

****Possibilities with an open mind, by genre, by category, by level, by age group, positivity to welcome ideas, goals, purposes within the company itself from all directions and all achieved.

Our philosophy is ruled & backed with 100% straight transparency background with full transparency and with results by each genre, category, programs, levels & age. We do it then we talk about it. We don’t do reels for secondary media.

If we told you that you can earn upto 400$ an hour in performing arts or 100 to 150$ for 1-2 performance and bag a client or get a project in 4 figures, would you care to make reels or care for the likes of people or likes on your page? You may care to do so “additionally” but not as replacement. See, it is that simple. We don’t discourage those activities but this is mainstream educationment/education/instruction and yet it is commercial performing arts and that is how it is. And yep, our elites have earned those too depending on their availabilty as our elites are scholars in their education as well.

That is why, Hetal Nagaraj herself doesn’t care about those reels and likes because hetal has experienced what matters at the end of the day. It paid for everything + achieved too by genre and category. It also paid for our 501 3 c non profit programs! Charity is fueled too + earnings. Obviously in future, we may think of all the other activities but as an inclusion. Not as a replacement! What’s your philosophy based on ? Do you have anything worth showing that backs your philosophy?

As the annual dance recitals are planned by curriculam expected to meet by students in certain time frame, the dances and the musicals in all our dance forms are at level where we can easily convert them into an exclusive dance production pertaining to respective forms, and styles. Thus, offering our students a real experience to students of each and every aspect of performing arts.

1999…. Entering Freelance Private Group Choreography. How we got into it…

1999 marked the year when our founding member Ms. Hetal Nagaraj first stepped into professional competition choreography as freelancer. It was the very first time when she taught students similar to her age, or they did not belong to her affiliated groups/school or college or let’s just say, were complete strangers. For a 20 year old, it was tough call when she was not a performer but a choreographer (Sigh). Through a friend’s friend, this all got started and today we are thankful to both of them.

Biggest challenge was that these students were avid dancers (who could move the way you want them to) but they had no idea of what they were doing. This is in-spite of being natives or participating in various community or school events as they claimed to. But, ready to work hard & first whole week just passed by getting their moves FIXED to folk requirements, which we did daily for 4 hours totaling to up-to 28 hours of training!

Content5

After spending all that sponsored funds for the costumes and travel, you cannot afford to do mistakes. The whole week, with pure folk training & listening to audio/video of 30+ folk artist, finally we ended up in a song that was approved by competition board to use and was best fitting our decided folk & theme!

Then the real drill work of choreography had begun!

Folk Dance Competitions in India were/are technique focused (The ones we participated in) considering the important and major elements of folk dances to promote the authenticity and importance of Folk Dances. Other folk dances participated as well due to diverse cultural demographics in Gujarat. Judges either had dual degrees in performing arts, followed by PHDs or double masters in their areas. Ms. Joshi (we were) was worried as it was her very first freelance private group choreography with just some amateur free-move dancers who took training for short period of time! Getting them to NOT do mistake was biggest challenge.

If that was not enough, innovation & creativity was an essential element and to further make it look dramatic, we added the props that required balance.

Pressures…pressures & crazy pressures of around 16 dancers (14+2 setting) and it was all worth taking the pain! Cash prize of 1 Lakh Rupees & gift certificates to various malls & resorts. We did bag 20K INR (from award money as our % other than choreography fees), free tickets to cultural concerts, and gift cards to restaurants and hotels. It was a big amount back then in 1999 for a 20 year old to earn that money for just 3.5 months of work!

The satisfaction, Ms. Joshi (we) got was PRICELESS. Ms. Joshi also received additional perks from group as a thank you note for arranging costumes, jewelry & Props in last moment when board did not approve costumes and jewelry (due to folk costume guidelines) that group had initially decided. This was a kick-starter for us…Our best of all until now!

PR & Staffing – Reachh Mediaa Since 2013.

Post was explicitly detailed by Ms. Hetal Nagaraj on social media.

People should not get mad at me via Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj because of the following –

These issues are –

1. Inappropriate or temporary expiry type visa because of payouts.

  • – our payouts are usually in 1099, w2, w9 or it is direct check or bank, it depends.
  • – This means yes, I pay tax as applicable 🙂.
  • – I cannot hide the payouts as I fill forms on those.
  • – If nominal amounts(100$ types) then usually venmo or zelle.
  • – I do have to show that as my business revenue as payment was endorsed to me or to the interns as well (as applicable, if applicable) via contractual agreement and legally through my trainings programs of internships.- this point is usually for college students.

#YES

2. Lack of citizenship as some companies are extremely adamant to this.

  • – I have been told on face, pls do not submit any students who are not citizens because of their inability to stay within country. #YES

3. Govt Id or school id, university id required with a picture on it.

  • – If old picture then the latest whichever applicable, w/documents that support the enrollment. NJHS must produce NJHS qualifying emails/letters.

4. Waivers, insurance and such other forms by me and by companys in motion as these companies will not allow any participations without that, for anything!

5. Proper nickname paperwork so that it is not misused.

6. Eligibility criteria of – age, age group, technique list if needed, narratives of details and not the translations, specifics of descriptions of dance.

7. Visa expired and no paper work to support the extention papers, depends on country of application and immigration laws

8. Proper video visibility by the song limits as required or asked,

9. if group then pointers of the dancer, position of the dancer, costume and closeup zooms, or cropped pics;ability to perform when asked.

10. list of body measurements and dressing measurements if required usually for modeling.

11. proper headshots in all angles, head shot photos, introductions, list of institutes as needed, year of training and type of programs.

  • – this is usually we keep it to use it several times for submissions and for our keepsake as well; so that we don’t confuse candidates as people do have similar names.
  • – also, to see if eligibility of level, age or any such is achieved. type of programs is usually for USA and India as now we have IB schools, all over India. some are specific to recreation only as well.
  • – Introductions because the introduction of individual is different from company website and it needs to be in certain format or word limitations. this applicable for people with own websites too.
  • – I, as a PR specialist cannot eliminate details that you think that you absolutely want to keep from that entire introduction!
  • – As a PR specialist, I can only tell you what I need and what may look absolutely good. #YES

12. presence of parents required in case of below 21, the liability moves to parents.

  • – usually it is 18 but for USA we keep it 21 – for safety!

13. theme then that, concept then that, collective list then that.

14. category change if parents are ok with it because as a PR firm I will hate for you to fail. I get money if it goes in smooth!

That’s why 🙂

15. Corrective measures or additions and deductions of certain activities/moves/steps whatever you want to call it, if needed if you want to stick to category. #YES

16. Last but not the least, Edited and unedited raw files of pics, videos & stills.

and these are just a few on list! Most common of all.

It is lot of work. It takes me an hour just to review a candidate on basic requirements list as I have to sit with videos too. I do not care at all who submits it. This is different than what others do! This is pure PR.

This is NOT STAFFING. Staffing is called placement. PR is not staffing.

We do staffing of our PR candidates which is indepedent of candidates that are in PR as well at Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj🙂

Some have their own staffing firms too and we just do PR for them. For some we do it all. #YES

Brands that are independent of Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj or me/@Hetal Nagaraj, Hetal Nagaraj Dance-International, Hetal Joshi M – USA/America

are independent of any genre or category or any field as well from www.hetaln.com

Hope this clears the confusions.

Jinal Shah, Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj shall upload this for easy registrations of Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj candidates.

Number of followers on social media is 100% irrelevant.

We will soon take those!

Community, Culture Programs ——

Community, Culture Programs ——

Fb Post by Hetal Nagaraj.

I have never faced any problems in community performances either & that’s by genre or category.

I have grads in those as well. Lots of them. #YES

Most often as private groups as friends want to often dance together.

I have my own(just me) more than 189 such groups who delivered successfully, performed & graduated too.

I have some Pre.Elites too in those.

My students have performed in – IANT, Diwali Mela of diff cities, Husda Punjab, Tamil Association, Telugu Associations, cultural orgs, temples festivals to name a few. #factsyoudidntknow

Once i had 6 batches in IANT and Diwali Mela by 4 cities, by each brand. The whole weekend everybody was dancing everywhere and i was driving from one city to other just to take care of my groups.

That weekend, my 70 costumes were out of my inventory.

#YES

Some have won non voting, curriculam and entertainment as well as voting competitions too 🙂.

What’s anybody’s excuse!

The best examples are Aahana, Setty Siblingss,Ashna Pethe to name a few. Pretty much all have performed atleast once!

This includes myself.

It makes me question you all for community too.

And, after all that your students & you all do not graduate in anything (that includes your own specialities as you call it) and they hop around like headless chickens just like their teachers.

And, in all that, as you all claim it, you all need an investor because you all are not able to cut the $$$ for something as simple as costumes. Really!

Here, i was able to hire part time admins and tailors for last min costumes. Which then made me one of biggest supplier in southern region.

And, after all that, you all are not stable, settled in either business or life. And all of this you all do in filthy politics, blame game to kids(really? kids ? and parents too you all don’t spare), type of drag you all bring in people’s life.

And, the dances you all do are worthless because when i see about insights or traffic, those are driven by you all only. Not one external like or share which is “liked by public for real”. From definitions, purpose, anything to everything is waste of all the energy, time and money.

Have you all ever thought how nice it will be to do something nice thats liked by strangers. And then to prove this, you all do it more. Just to show me.

Really ? to me ? for what ?

You all think, it will make me do anything based on that ?

Nothing. I do not care.

#exactlywhattosay

I feel really bad for you all. Mine stay with me for decades. Isn’t that money or stability ?

Don’t get me started on “don’t judge what you don’t understand”.

I understand one thing that i get paid in 3 to 5 figures just myself. i win on international grounds by genre, category and by styles too, several of those are my own exclusively (when i have Dhamaal Events USA By Hetal Nagaraj folks, they are instructed step by step what to include and exclude) without a single vote or favor or any of you.

i know one thing that my dances get awards without a single politics, i earn my work, I do my work on my own, i create my own balls too and i am able to! I know one thing that i get paid to judge too and that itself means alot. My traffic is also not pushed or derived.

That says alot. Tell me one more time that i care about any of you on anything. I do not!

And, to add to this whole drama, I do not bitch about anybody! Nobody is that awesome to do so.

The time you all waste in all these crap approaches to anything you all do, you could have done proper trainings on techniques ?

I do not do anything but that.

#Exactly.

Your one activity is just one of my activity that i do without anybody. Just in Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj, i have 60+ of those.

#Exactly

I am glad i am not the part of you all’s drama. Sort of glad, that collabs or anything did not either work out after several meetings or i did not acquire. VERY!

Donations welcome, if you all care for the shit you all do. #Exactly.

I do not choose to collab, partner for anything at this point, deliberately because of recent fraud crap and i saw who is what! Feel free to approach if you think of something, I cannot guarantee if i would be interested.

I do not ever partner in my lows as it keeps my integrity intact. I am busy anyway.

#Exactly#imilliondareyou#YES#factsyoudidntknow#hetaljoshim

Hetal apne aap ko kya samajthi haen vo aapki problem nahi haen. What i think of myself is not your problem. hetal ke paas ye sab ke liye vakt nahi haen. sochna to dur ki baat.

Vendor Programs Clarifications March 2025 Onwards –

From Social Media Post itself –

***Clarification of Vendor Programs***

i don’t give any feedbacks in Vendors of Grace And Grooves by Hetal Nagaraj Programs.

It is not my business or my job to correct them for anything. Its not my job to judge them either. It matches my gig, i ask them. Simple.

i don’t care. they get their money. i get my work done & i get my money. matter over. Not a word. #YES

Deliberately i won’t. i am not available to pay people & give them feedback. It’s not free to do those corrections. People come to me for those correction classes and mentor classes separately. Most often, those are incompany programs or Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj.

Vendors program is one time work by each project/gig or at a time 2-3 of them back to back, seeding. It is independent work.

My only concerns on these are safety, legal residency or visa permit to do conduct those activities. That’s all. Not an inch of care. If they fraud me for their visa status, i will be the first one to report. It is as simple as that.

People should be thankful that as an artist, i atleast give credits, pics or videos, this openly. Others do not give those either. #daretosaythankyou

I give credits so that other people cannot claim it. be it good or bad, I do not want others credit. I do not even use their videos for anything that i care to. They are not the part of my company for anything. Once the gig is over, it is over.

Their former affiliations with me or anybody or me calling them is 100% irrelevant or based on previous experiences either with them or their parents or their students any workshops or activities or programs with me.

It is that independent.

Deliberately to keep it entirely seperate from company so that people, by mistake, cannot confuse my company or any of work for anything and they can keep that as theirs but that won’t make me lie about them or anybody in my company.

Other people asked that call us too so i came up with this idea. #Exactly

I don’t care if they show me their class about the gig or credit to me that it was my invite to them.

They can put my name if they wish to as a producer or director. That does not make me their choreographer or anything at all.

i can request some steps to be removed because of some audiences. That’s all. It’s called Choreography Edits. I provide costumes if they need.

I have a billion traffic (aggregate) and i have achieved every single goal in every field at its highest peak independently.

you think i care!

I do not care at all what vendors do. #Exactly

People are called based on their social media link submissions(i dont care how many followers you have) or their dropbox submission clips. I do not confuse, misunderstand or force them any specialities for any gig.

I ask 10 times before i get a confirmation from them if they can do it. Sometimes people give me answers that “hetal, i need lot of practice for this one & i cant do it now” so then they refuse for the selected work. Which is ok too, i just need to know!

The invites are open publicly.

#YES

Genres are specifically mentioned accordingly as requested or delivered. Once they step out of premises of that exact gig, I do not care what they do or who they are with!

they must not loiter or linger around premises b’coz then that’s security issue. I need to make sure they drive out.

I am present at all times.

I perform or do workshops if i have to and usually solo(never with others groups).

It’s 100% independent of my work, company’s grads, elites or my work of mentorship too.

It is never on % as i have to deduct some upfront costs which are fixed, its direct taxcut for me (or its 1099 or W2) & rates of gigs usually vary drastically.

So i cannot do %.

It is what it is. Take it or leave it. I don’t care!

Period.

Post may have more information to add all the FAQ!

Vendor Services from March 2025 —– List of Participations.

Vendors Services from March 2025 —

Accounted as Ms. Hetal’s own as Ms. Hetal could have herself delivered too! #YES

These programs contribute towards the total programs as well which are conviniently listed.

Purely CUSTOM, per request ONLY.

  • Miss Hetal never had vendors before. Ms. Hetal’s Elites would deliver it (if available).
  • Until 2019 it was part time, so Ms. Hetal limited gigs or infact any programs that you see.
  • Also, never had those request before. Most request prior to those were solo workshops & solo performances only, by genre or syles and categories. That suffices Ms. Hetal’s workshop list!
  • Ms Hetal does not direct or guide them on anything. Only safety like govt ids etc. They are not the part of mentor programs either. It is an open-end gig. It gets over once gig is over.

People should not get mad at me via Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj because of the following –

These issues are –

1. Inappropriate or temporary expiry type visa because of payouts.

– our payouts are usually in 1099, w2, w9 or it is direct check or bank, it depends.

– This means yes, I pay tax as applicable 🙂.

– I cannot hide the payouts as I fill forms on those.

– If nominal amounts(100$ types) then usually venmo or zelle.

– I do have to show that as my business revenue as payment was endorsed to me or to the interns as well (as applicable, if applicable) via contractual agreement and legally through my trainings programs of internships.- this is usually for college students.

#YES

2. Lack of citizenship as some companies are extremely adamant to this.

– I have been told on face, pls do not submit any students who are not citizens because of their inability to stay within country. #YES

3. Govt Id or school id, university id required with a picture on it.

– If old picture then the latest whichever applicable, w/documents that support the enrollment. NJHS must produce NJHS qualifying emails/letters.

4. Waivers, insurance and such other forms by me and by companys in motion as these companies will not allow any participations without that, for anything!

5. Proper nickname paperwork so that it is not misused.

6. Eligibility criteria of – age, age group, technique list if needed, narratives of details and not the translations, specifics of descriptions of dance.

7. Visa expired and no paper work to support the extention papers, depends on country of application and immigration laws

8. Proper video visibility by the song limits as required or asked,

9. if group then pointers of the dancer and closeup pics;ability to perform when asked.

10. list of body measurements and dressing measurements if required usually for modeling.

11. proper headshots in all angles, head shot photos, introductions, list of institutes as needed, year of training and type of programs

– this is usually we keep it to use it several times for submissions and for our keepsake as well; so that we don’t confuse candidates as people do have similar names.

– also, to see if eligibility of level, age or any such is achieved. type of programs is usually for USA and India as now we have IB schools, all over India. some are specific to recreation only as well.

– Introductions because the introduction of individual is different from company website and it needs to be in certain format or word limitations. this applicable for people with own websites too.

– I, as a PR specialist cannot eliminate details that you think that you absolutely want to keep from that entire introduction!

– As a PR specialist, I can only tell you what I need and what may look absolutely good. #YES

12. presence of parents required in case of below 21,

– usually it is 18 but for USA we keep it 21 – for safety!

13. theme then that, concept then that, collective list then that.

14. category change if parents are ok with it because as a PR firm I will hate for you to fail. I get money if it goes in smooth!

That’s why 🙂

15. Corrective measures or additions and deductions of certain activities/moves/steps whatever you want to call it, if needed if you want to stick to category. #YES

and these are just a few on list! Most common of all.

It is lot of work. It takes me an hour just to review a candidate on basic requirements list as I have to sit with videos too. I do not care at all who submits it.

This is different than what others do! This is pure PR.

This is NOT STAFFING. Staffing is called placement.

PR is not staffing.

We do staffing of our PR candidates which is indepedent of candidates that are in PR as well at Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj🙂.

Some have their own staffing firms too and we just do PR for them. For some we do it all. #YES

Kalaripayattu, Chhau, Mixed Martial Arts – Hetal Joshi M.

Source – Ms. Hetal’s own post about Kalari And Chhau .

Kalaripayattu and Chhau are part of the Indian Classical Repertoire due to the limited presence of widespread tournaments or combat exams or most often its own popularity itself of the entire form.

As their popularity grows and as the tournaments take place, this may change, possibly altering their classification as Indian Classical Repertoire and it might be soon removed from Indian Classical Repertoire!

In India, I think, some tournaments have commenced, I have known about it and it is not much popular, rather dancers/students enjoy it as demonstrative movements, atleast for now. #YES

Regardless, these remain rooted by exclusively technique and by technique name too as taught under my leadership & by me as well-exclusively, at Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj via Kalasri Institute Of Indian Classical Dances By Hetal Nagaraj.

It does not matter which way you learn be it demonstrative or for tournaments like a martial arts. Techniques remain as is and yes, it has assigned music to it.

Thus, is part of Indian Classical Repertoire until it is 🙂

Since i am mixed martial arts/combat trained from early ages of my life because of my background and schooling environments, I often include those in my combination (combo) classes which are taught annually (followed by recitals or productions-depends). Boys and infact, girls have found a strong liking towards these demonstrative movements because its something new than just the plain old dance.

I offer these mixed martial arts – Kalaripayattu and Chhau every alternate seasons to balance my physical abilities. These require high intensity from day 1 of the class and that’s biggest challenge for these. It is much more intense and tough start than the ones in Karate and such others as it has several reverse body movements as in kicks and body turns.

During the tournament approach, there is deeper learning of combat, principles, rules of tournaments, strategies to shorten fight, winning points for face to face attack and such factors are usually taught and this is beyond demonstrations.

Though some are included in demonstrations as well just without “combat/fight/without touching just to showcase”. #YES

But yes, everything remains as is and that includes techniques, by names as well and the drills before or after the class.

In my first batch of demonstrations of mixed martial arts infused with performing arts(2014-2016), people confused it with silambam and some non-indians called it tai chi types. It made me smile.

Some mistake it to Kshatriya art forms of war strategies and weapons (which is what i am trained in as well) and those were created by Rajputs & Marathas as they followed a structured discipline formats of war art (these lasted for centuries until moghuls brought the new ones).

These organically differ from proper mixed martial combat demonstrations that exists today and are part of defense programs in most countries.

And that’s my training too because of my school programs, mine included creative/artistic yoga for balance and discipline, breathing techniques (not the other yoga that people do), and most of these demonstrations were taught in my school because and exclusively for Independence And Republic Day Demonstrations and Celebrations at City Centers/Halls.

If selected, we usually go to Rajpath and such other bigger festivities!

Gandhinagar, Capital of Gujarat has these programs on larger scale where-in external students (out of school) are also invited just for these programs. My all schools had these directly. Something like Rajpath, Delhi (Kartavya Path) has it through these initiatives. Strongly recommend, google parade at rajpath. Don’t forget to see my pics on my blog and on Hetal Nagaraj Dance-International’s album.

Like mentioned on website, some programs are never stand alone programs.

One of those is mixed martial arts or kalaripayattu, others are couple classes, private function packages wherein they come up with their own song to dance on and take seperate classes too, and our adults groups classes are mostly our own parents. Couples are private packages.

Those types are by packages, progressive workshops by each level, and if those are not private groups then through Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj only, the students of kalari or mixed martial arts are required to take one other genre such as bharatanatyam, bollywood/cinema, drama/stagecraft, folk or simply hiphop.

The grads you all see is of these programs as well or are our own parents for their own functions who formed their own groups.

The only one we have is mommy and me program as a mother daughter class. It is one of my most successful program too!

Because it is only me, i am cautious to high intensity genres, esp the ones that are high intensity from day 1.

I love my kalari combo students. My kalari students too made me proud. I am so happy to see their dances. First ones unbeatable and got international awards in various competitions too in entire USA, Canada, London by 2019 itself.

I showcased Aahana, Samarth Setty for my own jhansi & warrier/combat series dances in kalaripayattu and contemporary subjects in 2020 just before lockdown for various competitions and I had teen contemporary fusion series on subjects of mental health which i had just completed for the show (that was cancelled for Revanta Sarabhai‘s show).

Aahana won that one in several local, regional and inter state competitions as well – online.

My 8 other shows and productions were cancelled because of entire year of lockdown.

2020 during lockdown, the teams from Darpana Academy of Performing Arts such as Revanta Sarabhai, Manojbhai & few other artists from mumbai (my own friends from other institutes in industry) could not come (to DFW or anywhere) to my programs and activities or their own USA tour and so I initiated progressive workshops.

Technically you can say, all my institutes of my own trainings and my own teachers/gurus were lined up that year, every other month for some or other activity.

This was only because i had my own students in certain levels, and all students had nothing to do anyway because of lockdown and so i announced classes with Manojbhai via my own Dhamaal Events USA By Hetal Nagaraj; and had them enrolled for next level in their kalari program.

Those were exclusive my own students and under my own directives, manojbhai took their classes as a progression to next level and only i knew what was next on their curriculam. They took about 10+2 hours of workshop with manojbhai. 2 hours of practice class.

Revanta Sarabhai refused to take online activities.

Since all of them are my own students from scratch from day 1, in 2019-2020-2021, I had Samarth Setty and Aahana in their internship years of institutional practicals which led to their internships in my other junior kalari batches post pandemic 40 hour workshops on Kalari & Combo Classes.

All graduated in 2021-2022-2023 with several awards at certain levels and that makes Aahana and Samarth Setty the only ones who graduated to high levels/advance (jumps, combat, demonstrations).

A few of my students travelled to India (often from 2016) as well during their holidays prior and post pandemic and performed there as well which brought me other awards and other PR firms from India contacted me for news 🙂.

that’s when media knew about me!

I have chau level 2 graduates too, exclusively my own before lockdown 2020 itself. That’s how I was able to submit for their competitions as i had their videos of performances or rehearsals ready. That’s how post pandemic in 2021, i had not 1 but 8 productions in 1 day from morning 10am to night 8pm and parallel productions outdoors.

The only pending activity for my 2019 students was their costume shoot (during lockdown) and so that was to be done. So i personally arranged their productions outdoors in batch of 4-6 for Rang Indian Folk Dance And Theater Productions, Anantha Classical Dance & Theater Production Series, Sarvaa Cinema Dance And Theater Production Series.

There was a limitation of 4-6 in 6 feet distance 🙂

Mixed martial arts and kalari was thus made a compulsory inclusion in combo classes from 2014 itself as my “shiva tandava series” where in several girls too attended the program from frisco, plano and irving. Aahana was in that batch as well and was in first batch of Grace Creations Fusion Company By Hetal Nagaraj. At that time, Aahana was elementary ballet dancer at age of 4years.

Grace Creations Fusion Company By Hetal Nagaraj attracted lot of such desi parents whose kids were into tap, jazz, ballet and hiphop!

2016 Dance of Gods was Aahana‘s first inhouse production recital program with me. Although her group performances dates back to 2013-2014 in temples, various other cultural organizations and Indianite for her batch in Frisco FM423/Stonebrair, exclusively with me. It was first for several 2nd line of Elites as well.

#YES

My Shiva Tandava series had ended in 2019 itself with creatives of “Bho Shamboo” in Anantha Classical Dance & Theater Production Series.

My own son was getting bored of girly type dances and stereo type of bharatnatyam expressions that are too girly so this brought him fun. So i included it and boys had so much fun.

They enjoyed that more than just basic bollywood.

By then, classes of Mirchi Dance Academy By Hetal Nagaraj, Nruthyakala Folk Dance Academy By Hetal Nagaraj, and Kalasri Institute Of Indian Classical Dances By Hetal Nagaraj were stable and successful 1st line of Elites (exclusively under me) as well just under my name prior to my acquisition.

My son is one of them in that 2014 batch. Then i saw that there is this whole category of boys and girls who do not like one of those basic bollywood as much as they find it too girl types.

That’s how i attracted lots of bollywood students who wanted to do these innovative by technique dances 🙂. As matter of fact, hook up step is not bollywood but people do it as part of bollywood. Simple example! #YES

You can see my first batch of kalari introduction students as young as 4 to 8 years in my own solo production wherein my exclusive students performed 2016 “Dance of Gods – Adi Shakti Series” with tiny swords. It was my solo fundraisers and ofcourse, i had invited solo artist as i usually do to perform and i had booths as it was a fundraiser for CRY America Inc. and shopping spree event.

In that fundraiser of 2016, Nirja Setty, Ashna Pethe became Elites along with Mansi, Deepthi, Sindhu and few others for Bollywood as well other than hiphop, mixed martial arts, folk and modeling that they pursued throughout the years until 2024. #YES

I had sponsors too of various level and my first official fashion show under company name, for a local and international bridal boutique. I also had raffles and several IT course sponsors other than my own, that year, as my own launch of Sarva Information Systems and its affiliates training programs. #YES

2014 batch was combo of mixed martial arts (kalari as one of them) and Bollywood, pic as below.

It was after that & around that time that hiphop was introduced in combo classes. Boys then moved to hiphop and some to kalari. Some continued in Bollywood.

Aayan, Audrey line of Pre.Elites and all were much much later in 2018-2019 at age of 4-5 years at Lewisville, Texas for Year Round Activities in Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj and that includes all summer workshops as well because their parents are full time working parents so not much travels.

Among the only ones as in Elites who never took break of 1 season for anything. Just basic holidays that we announce. Thus, completed their grads in their respective programs(except Bharatanatyam) before age of 12!

It surprised me too, that they completed that early but then i looked at their attendence! Not one class missed and not one workshop ever missed, none!

You can see them as well in all my promos just as you can see Nirja Setty, Samarth Setty, Setty Siblings, Aahana, Ashna Pethe and several others. Some of my workshops in summer are thrice a week and 4 times a week min 3-4hours as well. They have attended all of those. #thatshowitsdone

My all productions are my own 🙂. As a part of invitees, i often call 1 artist to perform – usually the one that’s new in city.

And then, whoever is new choreographer, if any or one of my own grads who can take some lessons (in that year) is often called to perform something in their speciality as introduction to my students so that if they were to take classes, parents would know them.

I also have Texas All Star Talents By Hetal Nagaraj invitees that i call during my recitals and productions depends on speciality or program! These individuals usually have to pay just like any other shows.

I also call potentially interested candidates of Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj to showcase their trained specialities to categorize them in levels of Pre.Elites and Elites for submissions.

Check blog entry – Dance of Gods, Adi Shakti. It has more details. Most Elites start very early in life with me most at age of 4 or 5. Some accelerate faster too such as Ashna Pethe as they come to multiple locations as and when they are free.

That’s how they become Elites that early as young as 10, 12, 13 in multiple genres, level by level and then the rest of years are bonus years of gigs and fun activities such as commercials and modeling and all the other paths towards education usage since i run non dance programs too for Texas All Star Talents By Hetal Nagaraj.

Define part time, low key. this part time and this low key.

  71. Reels were proposed by Mansi during very first reality competition (as a company) in 2015 -2016 – as we had in-person reality competition submission that required online reel hashtags as contestant number and youtube links.
    • And we did those as well, while some were fresh show performances.
    • but then back then, we did not have students who could come for more than 1-2 hour and students were too naive to showcase much.
    • Mothers instead decided to stick to productions, recitals and shows as it was discussed and voted in parents so that they can use it for educational purposes.

    • So the plan was on hold for reels and Ms. Hetal will think of better ways to do that.

  80. During g2, company had grown to more than 50+ gears/gadgets for some or other activities and several spouses were ready to collaborate for several services within g2 and under Ms. Hetal directly.
    • So Ms. Hetal asked Marchawn to create company’s automated stock register(online system) and gear log sheet, along with re-organization of commercial database so that our crews can use company’s gears and gadgets (without followup with eachother )or via direct permission based on calendar, as easy access to taking gigs directly for company.
    • G2 was that passive for Ms. Hetal.
  81. Renewal sheets and such other logs were first made by Ms. Taylor under Ms. hetal’s directives to keep track of renewals and all the subscriptions as G2 was Ms. Hetal’s passive and Ms. Taylor was to run it. Ms. Taylor was hired by Ms. Hetal. Check this.
  82. Fundraisers, Competitions, News, PR are own school, college life that Ms. Hetal continued till date.
  83. Company logins within laptops were made by Nagaraj, Ms. Hetal’s husband – on an idea by Mansi as Mansi would use main desktop for company’s activities. This was because parents too used that desktop/laptop for various signups and it was creating confusions with Mansi’s work being deleted by some or other parent accidently as most folder names would be similar for submissions.
    • Since we did not have that many, at that time, Ms. Hetal did not feel the need of it though.
  84. G2 website first content was made by Ms. Taylor which was then redirected by Ms. Hetal. Site was published and made by Ms. Prushti.

  86. Ms. Hetal own external service provider for head shots & modeling gigs for various submission was Stephen Powell – 2014-2015-2016. His pictures are admired till date!
    • Surprisingly, his camera was a decade old.
    • The famous pink sari picture and the website picture that every media chooses. #YES
  87. All or most websites are custom made by Ms. Prushti, Lu Nguyen, Ms. Anitha under the directives of Ms. Hetal.
  88. G2 logo as in multiple options that may match the brand was made by Ms. Taylor after approvals from Ms Hetal and that includes bunch of names for G2.
  89. Grace And Grooves name was sudden announcement in 2010-2011 (out of blue) when suddenly Ms. Hetal was asked about company details and Ms. Hetal did not know what to say. The name was never planned either.
    • Company was registered right after because they needed Ein number for the next round as it was heading to publication and such other monetary gains.
    • It was other way round.
  90. Dhamaal Events USA was Ms. hetal own collab that she bought the whole share of.
    • ALL artists below this program were/are offered company’s aka Ms. Hetal’s own students and advertisements as per contracts based on either booking fees or %.
    • It was always the other way round. Ms. Hetal never advertises anybody for anything.
  91. Ms. Hetal own bio was not complete until 2018. It was when Jinal took over the content management under the directives of Ms. Hetal and Ms. Hetal got it nicely penned everything as Ms. Hetal needed it for PR submission wherein specific details were required.
    • based on our database and timeline was thus created.
    • Until then, Ms. Hetal bio was basic without years and without teachers’ name too 🙂 and without much details !
  92. Private Packages were Ms. Hetal own ideas because we could not combine external temporary students like that in existing annual year batches that do productions and recitals.
  93. It was Ms. Deepthi that was first offered administrative (non parent) 40 hour work visa because of her stable delivery of work assigned which added value to database of company’s Texas All Star Program.
    • The one who initiated administrative non dance programs as she was on her way to family and could not commit much!
    • Prior to that, Ms. Hetal had Ms. Swati but Ms. Swati was 2-3 days, a week for 4 hours only (and was mostly in back office under parents’ program).
  94. In 2021, Company went through induced fraud by property management company as well. Grace And Grooves and ms. Hetal lost millions of $ of commercial projects for which ms. hetal had worked for months to get them.
    • G2 was delayed because of property management company’s negligence on permits of building itself (not own suite permits).
    • There was no accountability by the company.
    • None of which was communicated. External biggest fraud to company.
  95. 2022 – Highest and biggest in person fraud to company, monetary theft, NJHS project delays, jammed systems and online infrastructure deliberately, refused to follow company work & refused to take compliance trainings, pissed off clients, highest refunds, mad customers, wasted everybody’s time and efforts, failed projects that Ms. Hetal had to redo all the projects just to keep the funds intact, tried to claim to do marchawn’s and taylor work and got caught, created confusions and mess, blunders;turned out she deliberately did that. – S****** K****.
  96. 2022 – Somebody tried to use our online systems and steal money via zelle and Ms. hetal saved company through recorded conversations. Company’s policies saved company for any obligations. This led to parents portal freeze & online payment freeze for a month.
    • Somehow the above fraud individual S***** knew about Ms. Hetal’s attedance to 972 979 2559.
  97. Company runs on Ms. Hetal exclusively and if today company exists is because of Ms. Hetal. Because S***** would have ruined Elites and their families. Ms. Hetal’s transparency and IT security saved everybody!
  98. By 2024 September, Company crossed 1 petabyte and few other terabytes extending reaches to higher technological advances in icloud, external storage systems and parental security.
    • Ms. Hetal had to clear all the mess caused by fraud in company which took more than 2 years.
    • First 4-5 months went by just to trace all the activities, fees, money transactions and trace the whereabouts of all mess that was deliberately done (one account is not recovered till date).
    • From 2024-2025 – right after the systems were up and running, in 2025, Ms. Hetal had to upgrade it all with Ai automations reinforcing security so that those issues do not occur.
  99. 2024, Despite all this mess, Hetal’s company Grace and Grooves stands tall with an on-paper valuation of $50 million;earned through its unmatched transparency and innovative model that has opened doors like none before. It’s not just a business; it’s a movement redefining industry norms.
    • It is providing lifeline and earnings to several aspiring artists as well as those who are willing to learn!
    • This evaluations does not include the latest system upgrade & all the other updates.
  100. More Later!

Wondering if Ms. Hetal does not welcome ideas. Oh you have no idea how nicely Ms. Hetal welcomes it!

Dare to question Ms. Hetal’s leadership as well ?

By the time you know, there is whole infrastructure on it. Being an independent company, sometimes it takes time and sometimes patience because parents approvals are needed.

Every show features elites or program graduates of Ms. Hetal’s own specialities on Hetal Joshi M – USA/America, so we would be surprised if anyone else is added as a contributor or for anything.

Ms. Hetal can also highlight those who proposed completely new ideas that never existed in entire initiatives of any program because “seperately doing that” would be exhaustive.

It worked well too as they had patience and common sense to wait until the right time and scenario. To value time for students who come once a week, 1-2hours only is a skill. Direction is always better than speed.

Dare to say that Ms. Hetal competes with anybody ? Ms. Hetal competes with herself. Ms. Hetal breaks her own records.

No Elite or Graduate of Hetal Nagaraj will ever be jealous of anybody in million years. We as teams dare you all on that.

All or Kids above are in Top universities or have just graduated in their masters programs as well. Mental well being of every kid below Hetal Nagaraj is excellent as they learn to value time and their efforts of every hour. They learn life skills that prepares them well in life.

Diversity at its best, nominated several times.

Dare to say anybody else did anything ?

What we do at Reachh Mediaa (July 8, 2025) By Hetal Nagaraj

What we do at Reachh Mediaa (July 8, 2025) By Hetal Nagaraj

Source – https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16vkoRF1Lg/

Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj is not a casting company.

It is PR, Portfolio Shoots, Preps before the PR packages actually begins, Audition Preps and all the check points, Submissions, PR Marketing, Eligibility, Resume, Acting, Model and PR Development and Trainings.

Hetal Joshi M – USA/America, Hetal Nagaraj, Hetal Nagaraj Dance-International sits with your details to see what matches where to get the work and how to get it through. It takes roughly 4 hour just to submit one candidate.

An average, she sits for 4 hours per month per candiate just to get this top of head so that Ms. Hetal can utilize your skills. It is skill to do that. It’s learned through practical internships just as Ms. Hetal learned through own internships. #YES

Casting companies are entire different story and thats where auditions and all those activities begins. Since we train students for all activities, we have to do this work. It ensures success in auditions and awards or news publications. Keeps it stress free too.

Occasionally, Ms Hetal Nagaraj also takes whole production for the whole company itself and thats usually relevant to our specialities at Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj.

We usually name them commercial mainstream stage productions;category remains as is Educational Entertainment. Most or All of these can be used in Education as well! It depends on paths candidates/parents choose for themselves.

Now that we have Grace & Grooves by Hetal Nagaraj International, we may offer “casting company services”. These can be of “any” category. We need to get few details before we offer those because of industry laws. Ms. Hetal is working on it.

People mistake this for a casting company. We are not casting company 🙂. In future, it is on list because of Grace & Grooves by Hetal Nagaraj International.

This program is optional and some Pre.Elites, Elites earn some perks from it, if they choose to. It is individual.
