At the end of the day, who is liable to reply for whatever you bring ?
- At the end of the day, who is paying for EVERYTHING including the opportunties that is actually created by Hetal Nagaraj Dance, Hetal Joshi M herself single-handed and these opportunities are created because Hetal Nagaraj Dance takes those trainings to know all that, from costumes to everything that you participate at (literally) zero cost as our staff while others pay a big $$ for it.
- ALL those trainings too cost money!
- Who pays everything before hand : Hetal Nagaraj Dance, Hetal Joshi M, Grace And Grooves Group of Companies, Hetal Nagaraj
