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

FeaturedAsidegraceandgrooves group by hetal joshi Leave a comment

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…

FeaturedAsidegraceandgrooves group by hetal joshi 3 Comments

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!

Choreography Workshops – Reachh Meddia

Choreography Workshops – Reachh Mediaa.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀?

We are a training-focused school where lasting technique, strong fundamentals, and the right learning environment matter most. We are about training the body!

Our emphasis is on evergreen skills and structured training rather than trend-driven choreography.

Choreography that has level and its evergreen to a point of non stop wins throughout decades.

Be it competitions, recreation or be it personality that is carved through performances.

The vibe, class and the level is by techniques that brings grace, elegance, beauty, charm, personality, certain aura too and all the beautiful work that wins for more than 3 decades!

A perfect example, our choreography are trendy and lasts for decades. Fun that lasts for decades and students graduate to levels above graduation 😀.

By all means, our work can be used for education too!

Just one of the factors not because it is needed but only because there are dangers to onset of early life in cinema or television industry unless of-course one is born within industry to know the pressures.

Our this training makes it a need!

A good dancer, a good body or personality, beauty with really good feature and how they carry themselves, actor, villain, director is always remembered and is evergreen too!

Ever wondered why not so good dancer or not so good actor, not so good villain, not so good director rarely makes cut in industry too.

Acting too requires whole level of stage presence.

Stage cinematic work are entire different of work 🙂.

Thats why we say, Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj is an investment for dancer, a lifelong learning to use it throughout life in every stage of life and all the way to senior age life too just for body well being.

Decades of trainings means think of “mental well being it offers”.

#Right

As a result, our students rarely require choreography classes; when they do, they are typically master-level sessions at entire different level.

Workshops choreography too are technique focused to certain level of “trainings”.

Hetal Nagaraj Dance-International makes sure of this.

Next few weeks, enjoy the latest dance clips of our Elites and mini-Elites who choreo too on their own. Company updates and uplinks will be completed first.

Our Elites and Grads sends Ms Hetal these clips of their performances often.

Ms Hetal’s own website too was a need! – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

Asidegraceandgrooves group by hetal joshi Leave a comment

Ms Hetal’s own website too was a need! – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

Many people know me through one part of my work or field. Some know me as social butterfly! Always busy in friends and family :). My journey with a professional website actually began during my college days, when I created a simple online portfolio to showcase my work. Blog, student profile website was a trend back then. #Right

Freelance world existed in the year 2000;the birth year of most business portals and web services. My marriage too is result of a proper non-dating matrimony site; lot of my family too married through these worlds of advances!

#Yahoo #BharatMatrimony

2009-2012 blogs – i was awaiting to achieve little more to showcase it on website as then it made sense to put it all together as “me”. My blogs had a post of all my activities–these are now brands and companies. #YES

Born in family with such an environment of advancements, it becomes inevitable for no reason or rather a correlative need to fuel goals in life.

It was not a person to influence me.

It was my Immigration Status – I received my EAD and this status unlocked everything that i awaited. I am USA Citizen from several years!

As a solopreneur all my life, i have admiration of businesses and individuals with a good discipline in certain fields! Most often, i read stories of businesses and owners. Specific to fields like fashion, sports, performing arts, entrepreneur paths, IT and fields of my specialities – to name a few. This admiration should not be mixed as an influence or personal liking.

Talk about timing!

In 2008-2009, my kid’s schedule became predictable as they were 3-4 years old and this allowed me to take projects or gigs on timeline, without any disturbances.

2009-2012 – The whole site and company plan took place. A rough draft of “may be” of teen-young life of someday took a shape. I finally could launch my own companies for easy billing and several other services without immigration or time restrictions as a next step to my freelance work. I could plan long haul without restrictions and then i had my own kids in it too. #YES

The idea for hetaln.com began taking shape during these days of my new business establishment. This involved SEO, branding, marketing, advertising and digital strategy packages from service providers. This part of package became an easy pathway to initiate the site-plan.

Grace and Grooves had its site from 2009-2010 from a blog attached to mine to a direct e-commerce site upon registration of company, so it made sense to have my own as package and through my IT interns. What started as a blog post were brands and then became companies as I grew.

Time rules my life – Around this time, a few of my own teachers’ aka guru’s kids, all over USA and the ones-new to USA entered my arena of my specialities either through degrees or through college teams thus, connected in 2010. And i had these non-stop from 2005, including my own brother in law, in-laws families’ kids so i had my eyes set on something of my own just as anybody would. While some opened their own consultancy in India and other countries which made easier for me.My work expanded and so did my freelancer capacity, teams of my own and my efforts multiplied, and this shaped my vision of site. Everything became direct international!

Right people showed up :). Some cousins too just graduated from university seeking some clarity. All these kids were fresh out of college and needed a boost of “real world” experience.

In 2017, I began turning that vision to reality for full portal-website;these factors aligned to have a stronger need!

As top 1% in family and friends to offer career and life guidance in fields of my expertise, this fueled my need of site even stronger. As an educational consultant, this was a norm for me in my teen years as corporate professional life was very early!

As a certified international trainer specialized in proper training and development field itself, i could run these officially as separate field. These years thus, became pillars of my IT training programs for fresh grads too.

In 2020, the path took focus to people like me in multiple businesses and freelancers on larger scale, as i am. It also became one place to document my journey, preserving my milestones, and continuing to build for the future–money is always one of them.

The website hetaln.com thus is a platform of my collective achievements, till date.
Just something more than an online portfolio—it is the digital home of my own founder’s vision. Today, hetaln.com represents my journey as a founder, entrepreneur, artist, mentor, and lifelong achiever-money is one of them. I share my work of all types in all fields, my ventures, my experiences–be it as team, as mentor, director or as leader, and the results that have shaped all i create.

It is past and present!

Thank you everyone who has been a part of this journey as some made sincere efforts to align pertaining to my world. My world of “need” nonetheless—is this small. Barely outside influences :).

Past and present offered alot and so will future.

Completion Date of hetaln.com –

The site of hetaln.com was scheduled to be completed by 2021-2022 but the delays of accumulated catastrophic mess caused delays in several content lineup in 2022, as reliability was on digital infrastructure. All the following launches and activities were then pushed to 2024-2025. Thus from 2023, the site was made LIVE but had constant updates of all content.

Currently – Except for a few links and a few pictures, it is fully updated. Site is LIVE and soon it will have appointments. Some links of appointments are through companies only unless it is for multi-field.

Fun fact – In year 2000, my brother was 1st one in my nuclear family to have his own professional website and cousin to have his 1st vlog and blog! It’s trend in family since year of 2000’s IT boom.

My past digital foot print include the following—From 1999 To Be Exact – I may be able to get exact date too :).

  • membership based international women’s corporate clubs,
  • several wellness and medical forums,
  • international membership IT clubs,
  • corporate clubs for career professionals,
  • my own personal blogs,
  • women’s wellness international platforms,
  • international due date clubs, mostly because of my own kids and I travelled in my youth years.
  • lamaze and parenting international parents clubs
  • endorsed memberships through my past sponsorship activities
  • my own poetry blogs that i use for publications,
  • and some journalism-write up blogs that i use for my articles and blog services!

To some, i am on board or a paid service provider. Those too were awaiting my site.

More on hetaln.com

Latest Fact – Several of my Elites, Elite Lines have their own websites and social platforms through me. Some maintained by me—-personally while some by parents themselves with guidance under me. I only run their platforms and sites!

Traceability is for these reasons – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj

Asidegraceandgrooves group by hetal joshi Leave a comment

From one of our FB Post –

Traceability is for these reasons – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj

We can show off all our activities and technically we have to too as this field requires such an overview to attract various opportunities as well. Enrollments are through portal too so automatically reports are generated.

#YES

Also, because Hetal Joshi M – USA/America‘s all the activities are legittly billable as per permissible labor laws too. Ms Hetal never enters into anything that’s not traceable, or does not have a billing.

#Right

Just a former tax officers’, govt kid and is from business families who readily openly do “white business as we call it” and so prefers traceability.

#YES

Ms. Hetal won’t even sign a contract or a project or any paperwork without meeting clients, traceability, background work. Ms. Hetal won’t proceed if certain details are not provided. At all times, Govt Id is required and Ms. Hetal Joshi M – USA/America does full background check on it.

For international projects to locally launch as well, zoom meetings or one of our local individuals usually meets them in order to get the project.

#Right

Ms. Hetal Nagaraj is strictly into billing and Ms. Hetal Joshi M – USA/America pays her annual tax as well.

In 2026, Ms. Hetal became an international tax payer. Projects of such size cannot be overlooked to not have paperwork.

#Right

That’s why staff are not hired without billing or w2 or 1099.

Staff of Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj or infact any of it on Hetal Joshi M – USA/America were and are always on these terms.

#Right

This is exactly why Ms. Hetal Nagaraj Dance-International cannot afford to have illegal immigrants

or

those who are not allowed to work on certain visa restriction and such other laws.

#YES

Ms. Hetal does not engage in any terms without such paperwork or traceability. This for herself and this for others too.

That’s why for Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj too, there is always a billable rate and all information is provided.

Parents or enrollees choose their own, if they wish to.

Their regret to not choose or later not attend is not Ms. Hetal’s problem!

Just as staffing company does not provide certain info, only those information is not provided.

Nonetheless, Ms. Hetal Nagaraj Dance-International herself bags projects too which means she only does shoots and everything – which saves time as then the shoots can be controlled by the schedule as per school hours, permissible to age and visa restriction!

That’s why all are US citizens or GC minimum in our Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 By Hetal Nagaraj programs!

Ms. Hetal Nagaraj Dance-International is so adamant on this that several choreographers who are on H1 and other status as well are not able to apply to Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj.

Some are really good ones too.

Ms Hetal just told them apply after EAD, not before!

Her own kids are in it, lot of kids PR depends on this, lot of traceable activities, govt workshops and city programs — so Ms. Hetal is very particular about it unlike those people of plano frisco who are careless about everything including their own kids.

There is a reason why Hetal Joshi M – USA/America stands for her own graduates, students and Elites or Elite Lines — this tall.

#hetaljoshim #YES

Ms. Hetal’s Post Reply –

Yes! All projects too that you see today were arranged by me at my last visit or in transit stay or are continuation of my own in person, internationally.

#YES

Since i only roll them, i can control these certain projects, these depend on my initiative only-money is one of them.

Those that i bag—i bag those on my everything including the money part of it.

The ones i bag, i have limited control on it as companies who give me those project have certain timeline and it needs to be done within those timelines. Specific to fashion, model, stage gigs projects and such fields where the fields are highly volatile as those depend on product sale to be launched in international markets, fast paced too as then it depends on company to roll the promotions. It is that high dependency work.

It is like a tippy toe fields relative to bigger brands and companies. It has to happen fast one by one before the entire foot is on ground.

And this has to happen until you are like me who can create the ground or the foot itself aka projects from scratch! So when i say its my project, the soil and ground are mine too and i am the one who will put your foot on it. It is that much depending on me.

#Right

Companies run on timeline and dates-deadlines not on 9 to 5, likes, dislikes, some rot vibes and rotten-word of mouth. It is a skill to know what works and in which areas!

My social media – is just a public declaration of company’s activities. Know the difference.

#Right

As multi-faceted professional in more than 350 specialities, i can easily deliver projects with just handful of people. Most of my teams or just me also, can easily take the load because of machines, technological advancements and automations.

These makes life easy and these automations take the load of stressful workflows.

Under me, training is for these technological advances too.

FAQ – Automated Sign Ups – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

Asidegraceandgrooves group by hetal joshi Leave a comment

FAQ – Automated Sign Ups – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

Company never had any “person” for front desk;only kiosk type of autologin setup – self help.

We have online automated systems for parents sign ups and those site links are open only when Hetal Nagaraj opens registrations.

I think people are mistaken on this.

Staff list and all the others like the students, interns are mentioned on Grace And Grooves Corp By Hetal Nagaraj.
We need no back up either on this.
It is further automated with ai.

The new systems won’t lock whole network of hetaln. The lock is supposed to trigger when tempered with the sensitive areas of information so there will always be lock but now on, it will be limited to other areas. #YES

Now we have official brands and Elite Lines who will work around console too so needed modular access points.

Occasionally, in absence of one customer service or ms Hetal or a public coordinator in-charge, the individual’s calls are simply diverts calls to whoever available. This has been company’s protocol from 2010 without informing customer on who will attend their call 🙂.
Thats how it is in every company! #services

Nonetheless, 972 979 2559 is Ms Hetal’s official public number now. The only number that will not be diverted/forwarded to anybody. #YES

For the others – It does not matter as long as they use company phone-calls are diverted to whoever available and if chat box is open then thats diverted too! #YES

Company had billing manager though (marchawn, and prior to that-ms.swati), and then various other integral coordinators for internal workforce who were usually in their internships or volunteer community hours for various specialities of Ms Hetal for their own schools and colleges so those individuals are not accounted as “staff” per se!

Right

Company site was always an e-commerce site so everything is done through portal logins only—-ever since 2010-2011-2012.

For those who do not know, http://www.graceandgrooves.com is a full e-commerce site!

It enables tools, registration sites and various platforms too. It handles and in past handled payouts pretty well and also issues 1099 or w2.

Portal logins are so easy that our Dhamaal Events USA By Hetal Nagaraj folks too did not face problems during online lessons and they could check their class details online!

Ms Hetal is solopreneur so as an IT geek would, she made sure of dependency on human workforce is subject to automations only.

Thats why people are required to complete internal IT trainings to keep it running.

Humans have better things to do!

YES #portal #site #ecommerce
