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!

RG2 – Brand Collaboration – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

Partnership History, Brand Clarification & Program Structure

The RG2 collaboration was established as a short-term co-partnership initiative between Grace And Grooves (G1) and Raagaleena (RG) to create expanded opportunities in performing arts training, productions, and community engagement.

The collaboration focused on mutually agreed activities including:

  • Specific training locations
  • Shared inventory and costume resources
  • Creative concepts and presentation development
  • Choreography collaboration within selected genres
  • Accessories and production resources
  • Performance opportunities and gigs
  • Promotional activities
  • Select community and artistic initiatives utilizing existing resources of both organizations

Brand Structure Clarification

The identity RG2 was created specifically for this partnership initiative.

  • G1 represented Grace And Grooves, which remained an independently operated organization with its own curriculum, leadership, staff, students, programs, locations, and artistic direction.
  • RG represented Raagaleena, an independently operated organization under its own leadership. Run by Swapna Raagaleena.
  • RG2 was a collaborative brand identity created as an additional partnership platform and was not a replacement, merger, acquisition, or continuation of either individual organization.

Both Grace And Grooves and Raagaleena continued their independent operations throughout the collaboration.


RG2 Frisco FM423 Program Launch

The RG2 Frisco FM423 launch included specialized classes under Raagaleena’s independent crew leadership, including:

  • Hiphop training
  • Bollywood training
  • Separate genre-based classes

These programs operated under the RG2 partnership structure with respective leadership responsibilities.

Following the conclusion of the RG2 partnership, the Frisco FM423 RG2 student group transitioned to Raagaleena’s continuation programs under Swapna leadership – instructor as Tulasi.

Grace And Grooves students and programs continued independently under Hetal Joshi Nagaraj’s leadership without interruption.


Independent Leadership & Program Responsibilities

Grace And Grooves was under exclusive Leadership of Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

All Grace And Grooves programs, teams, staff members, curriculum development, student training pathways, productions, and related activities remained exclusively led by Hetal Joshi Nagaraj / Hetal Nagaraj.

This included:

  • Company launch programs
  • Performing teams
  • Elite and pre-elite training programs
  • Curriculum development
  • Student advancement pathways
  • Staff and artist coordination

Grace And Grooves dancers and instructors included its respective artists, staff, and students such as:

  • Sindhu
  • Deepthi
  • Ashna
  • Nirja
  • Samarth
  • Akhil
  • Kavni
  • Sanj****
  • Kavitha
  • Additional trained students and performing artists

These individuals and programs were independently managed under Grace And Grooves leadership, including program responsibilities and applicable compensation arrangements.


Raagaleena Leadership

Raagaleena maintained independent leadership of its own programs, artists, students, locations, and operational responsibilities.

The RG2 partnership operated through a co-partner leadership model where each organization continued managing its respective teams and responsibilities.


RG2 Production Model

The RG2 launch production was a collaborative production involving advanced-level and adult/teen trained performers from both organizations.

The production model included:

  • Combined advanced performing teams
  • Shared artistic collaboration
  • Joint creative development
  • Co-partner leadership between Hetal Joshi Nagaraj and Swapna Raagaleena
  • Swapna Raagaleena was handling advertising & schedule logistics while Hetal Joshi Nagaraj was handling studio bookings and program logistics.
  • Teams remained with its respective leaderships.

The initiative existed as an independent collaborative project while both parent organizations continued their separate identities and operations.


G2 Dance Factory / Grace Creations Background

Separately, G2 Dance Factory (also referenced as G2) originated as an independent performing group under Grace Creations. G2 had nothing to do with RG2 and G2 was simply +1 of Indian dances, other than Hiphop.

This initiative of Grace Creations was developed in 2012-2013 as a fusion performance platform incorporating:

  • Indian dance traditions
  • Tap
  • Jazz
  • Ballet
  • Gymnastics
  • Acrobatics
  • Creative Yoga
  • Contemporary movement styles

The group was developed from trained students participating in programs including:

  • Ballet Academy of Texas
  • Dancers Workshop (Lewisville)
  • Coppell Dance Center
  • Texas Gymnastics/Acro
  • Artistic Yoga programs

These students desired opportunities beyond traditional Indian dance training, leading to the creation of a multidisciplinary fusion performance team.

To support this vision, Hetal Joshi Nagaraj expanded her own training across additional disciplines including:

  • Hip Hop
  • Broadway-style movement
  • Non-Indian dance techniques
  • Cross-genre choreography approaches

This broader artistic foundation supported future collaborations, including RG2 ( because of hiphop styles ), where Hip Hop became a shared creative foundation.


RG2 Promotion & Sponsorship

The first official RG2 promotional sponsorship included:

FunAsia Radio / Saumil Thakkar and Ek Nazar

Promotion activities were supported through mutual collaboration between Hetal Joshi Nagaraj and Swapna Raagaleena.


RG2 Conclusion

The RG2 collaboration existed for approximately eight – ten months and was concluded due to personal and operational decisions — G2 brand launch for Hetal Joshi Nagaraj in Arlington, Texas so Hetal was looking for a studio place and India Trips Personal for Swapna Raagaleena affecting continuation of the partnership model.

Raagaleena on other hand was not much interested for g2 Arlington, Texas, USA and Hetal Joshi Nagaraj could not stop because of non stop Elite Lines which included several non indian dancers.

Following dissolution:

  • RG2 branding was discontinued with mutual agreements and on good terms. Several students exchange kuchipudi under Swapna and other dances under Hetal!
  • RG2 Frisco FM423 students transitioned under Raagaleena’s continuation structure while Hetal Joshi Nagaraj’s batch moved to Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.
  • Grace And Grooves programs continued independently under its existing leadership and operational framework of Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

The conclusion of RG2 did not impact the independent operations, curriculum, students, or growth of Grace And Grooves nor did it impact Raagaleena.


Current Status

Hetal Joshi Nagaraj continues to independently develop and offer:

  • Bollywood training
  • Hip Hop training
  • Cinematography and creative media programs
  • Multidisciplinary performing arts education
  • Cultural preservation and community engagement initiatives

Grace And Grooves continues as an independent performing arts organization with its own documented history, programs, students, productions, and community impact.

Why You Rarely See Ms. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj as a Business Partner or Startup Investor

Why You Rarely See Ms. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj as a Business Partner or Startup Investor

The answer lies in her entrepreneurial journey.

Independent Entrepreneurship Since 1998–1999

Ms. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj has been a solopreneur since 1998–1999, entering entrepreneurship and professional leadership at a notably early stage of her career. From the beginning, she independently managed business operations, financial planning, program development, administration, and organizational leadership.

Her organizations have generally been built through structured systems, long-term planning, documented processes, and independent execution rather than through co-founder or partnership models.

A Builder Rather Than an Investor

Throughout her career, Ms. Hetal has primarily focused on creating, operating, and growing her own organizations rather than investing in or co-founding external startups.

Her professional preference has been to:

  • Build organizations independently.
  • Hire qualified professionals for specific roles or projects.
  • Engage specialists through clearly defined contractual relationships.
  • Maintain clear governance, accountability, and organizational structure.

Accordingly, she is rarely seen acting as an equity partner, startup investor, or silent business partner.

Merit Before Relationships

Professional relationships are based on competence, qualifications, documented responsibilities, and contractual agreements—not personal familiarity.

Students, clients, collaborators, contractors, and consultants are engaged through transparent and professional processes. Personal relationships neither create nor replace professional roles within her organizations.

Evidence-Based Leadership

Her documeted archival leadership journey emphasizes:

  • Research before assumptions.
  • Facts before opinions.
  • Continuous education.
  • Regulatory compliance.
  • Lifelong learning.

When entering a new field or expanding an existing one, she prefers to study, obtain relevant certifications where appropriate, and understand the applicable legal, technical, and professional standards.

Independent Decision-Making

Ms. Hetal generally develops, finances, and executes her initiatives independently while accepting responsibility for their outcomes.

External approvals are typically sought only where appropriate—for example:

  • clients,
  • investors,
  • contractual partners,
  • regulatory authorities,
  • licensing bodies,
  • or project governance requirements.

Otherwise, strategic decisions are generally made independently.

Professional Boundaries

She maintains a clear separation between professional and personal relationships.

Family members, relatives, friends, or acquaintances who participate in her organizations do so under the same policies, procedures, and expectations applicable to all participants. Personal relationships do not automatically translate into business partnerships or leadership positions.

Private by Nature

Ms. Hetal generally keeps business planning and new initiatives confidential until they are ready for formal launch.

As a result, many people become aware of her projects only through official announcements, public programs, publications, media coverage, media relations or organizational communications.

Commitment to Continuous Learning

Her multidisciplinary portfolio reflects a long-term commitment to professional development.

Where industry standards, licensing requirements, or regulations require certifications, she pursues them accordingly. Her approach combines formal education, practical experience, and ongoing learning to maintain professional standards across the fields in which she works.

Respect for Every Individual

Ms. Hetal believes that every person should be treated with dignity and professionalism. She strives to interact respectfully with individuals regardless of their background or personal circumstances, while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries and adhering to legal, ethical, and organizational standards.


This is as per documented archival leadership without making unverifiable claims.

Zero Tolerance Means Zero Tolerance: The Culture We Protect at Grace & Grooves

Zero Tolerance Means Zero Tolerance: The Culture We Protect at Grace & Grooves

At Grace & Grooves, we don’t just teach dance.

We build confidence, discipline, leadership, and character.

That is only possible when every student walks into class feeling respected, safe, and valued.

From day one, our commitment has been simple:

We have zero tolerance for hazing, bullying, harassment, discrimination, intimidation, retaliation, or any behavior that makes another student, family member, instructor, volunteer, or guest feel unsafe or unwelcome.

What Zero Tolerance Means

Zero tolerance is not just a phrase on paper.

It means every concern is taken seriously.

Whether behavior happens in person, online, during rehearsals, performances, competitions, travel, waiting areas, or through social media, our standards remain the same.

Everyone is expected to contribute to a positive learning environment.

We Do Not Accept

  • Bullying in any form.
  • Hazing or initiation activities.
  • Verbal, emotional, physical, or online harassment.
  • Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, age, disability, gender, or any protected characteristic.

  • Gossip intended to isolate or humiliate others.
  • Threats, intimidation, or aggressive behavior.
  • Cyberbullying through messages, group chats, or social media.
  • Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern.
  • Unsportsmanlike conduct that damages our community.
  • Theft and crime will be openly addressed. Just as it is addressed by other legit companies so that further harm is prevented.

  • Respect.
  • Kindness.
  • Professionalism.
  • Integrity.
  • Accountability.
  • Teamwork.
  • Inclusion.
  • Humility.
  • Leadership through example.

Our students are taught that great performers, individuals with skilled character, career and socially as well as commercially acceptable standards of evolved human beings.


Student Well-Being & Welfare

At Grace & Grooves, our instructors work closely with students through movement, training, and regular interaction.

Because of this, we may occasionally notice changes that could affect a student’s ability to participate safely or comfortably.

Examples may include:

  • Noticeable changes in physical appearance or overall health.
  • Persistent dark circles, signs of prolonged fatigue, or lack of adequate rest.
  • Unusual difficulty focusing or maintaining attention compared to the student’s normal behavior.
  • Visible bruises, injuries, or other marks that raise concern for the student’s safety or ability to participate.
  • Sudden or significant weight loss or weight gain that may impact physical activity.
  • Unexpected emotional outbursts, withdrawal, anxiety, or changes in mood.
  • Unusual lethargy, excessive tiredness, or lack of energy.
  • Sprains, limping, restricted movement, or discomfort during stretching, dancing, or everyday movement.
  • Reports of pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or extreme fatigue during class.
  • A student appearing unusually unresponsive, confused, or not responding as they normally would.

Our role is not to diagnose medical, psychological, or personal conditions. Instead, our responsibility is to ensure that students can participate safely and that any concerns affecting their well-being or the learning environment are addressed appropriately.

When significant changes are observed, Grace & Grooves may:

  • Privately check in with the student in an age-appropriate and respectful manner.
  • Notify a parent or legal guardian when appropriate.
  • Recommend medical evaluation or clearance before returning to full participation if an illness or injury is suspected.
  • Modify or limit participation to help prevent further injury.
  • Document observations when necessary to support student safety and consistent communication.
  • Follow all applicable mandatory reporting laws if there is reasonable concern that a child may be experiencing abuse, neglect, or is otherwise at risk.

All conversations regarding student well-being will be handled with professionalism, discretion, and respect for privacy. Our goal is always to support the health, safety, dignity, and success of every student while maintaining a safe learning environment for the entire Grace & Grooves community.


Talent may earn applause.
