Hetal Nagaraj First Started full program in Kalasri/Kalashri Institute, Irving, Texas offering classes in Irving, Keller & Carrollton. ALL are international (Online) and some are international in person as well.
Several of our students come for twice a week or thrice a week or to multiple locations or private class packages to complete their Arangetram or program as per their “life plans” as and when they are free!
All these students can be seen by their names in the following link – Grace And Grooves Channel that we often use under company submissions or at Hetal Nagaraj’s own channel that hetal often uses for submissions or to show glimpse of performances.
All our graduates usually do their internships as an assistant for practices, or to contribute to choreographer as a part of technique inclusion and performances of new students or advance students. It is an experience to be able to impart or instruct education as well;you teach usually what you learned or as instructed if you listen to your supervisor.
