Private packages at our locations! Yes pls, hetaljoshim

By exclusively hetal joshi m!

With more than 112 private packages sold exclusively by hetal joshi m, you will wonder how 🙂

Ms. Hetal’s Specialities in couples classes that Ms. hetal took for herself.


Lot of ppl ask me why several pics at my own house or at our designated locations that are open late hours? This is because these are private classes with packages.

Most private packages are by hrs (3,5,10,15,25,30,52 or ad hoc as you need +1 or -1 here and there) are booked in extremely odd hours than the regular standard class routine times. Most of these occur “around the regular class hours” or at times, i get calls during my practice or lesson hours if my clients can come by for an hour or 2.

I don’t mind because they are families and couples. They don’t mind because i am that settled in life with all grown up kids & it is one of my speciality that i am known for too in couples world! Some come by just to spend time with me as these people have gone through some trauma and need their head off it or something to do together as couples. It is insanely sweet! And then, we have other clients such as kids, families, our own in-house students taking other private packages, by genre and category as well for their other programs or competitions or at times submissions or sometimes it is just to learn and have some fun in their own personal time (other than regular group classes).

I have clients that drive for me up-to 3-6 hr drive or are from other states occasionally for these package classes as their destination wedding is in DFW or most of their relatives are in DFW.
These are booked at client’s convinience of timings and are 100% custom as requested. Several couples come by to perform too if they are local or if they want to perform/represent me or my companies by genre or category in my local culture programs. yes all the listed albums on hetalnagaraj dance are 100% true and all of them are by invoices and emails or paperwork or by artist management companies. Reachh Mediaa was taken over only after 2019-2020-2021. Prior to this, Reachh Mediaa was one of our vendors and clients depending on projects.

My latest private class has ended at 11pm-1130pm. Earliest i think was 530/6am! I don’t do house-calls but I do encourage having a studio nearby or a facility with approved insurance and such amenities. I do lot of commercial gigs and so often i practice late after my regular routine classes. And so my front portion of house is all studio/dance setup w/proper designated space/rooms, mirror, speakers, lights & my own personal and my Elites’ all access costume room. Ppl just come by to any of my locations depending on my timings and schedules.
Everybody in family dances too and are this busy with their own gigs as well so these activities are never a problem or a disturbance.

I don’t do reels at least until now. may be soon!

This is also the reason that we never felt the need of “announcing adult classes in bollywood as those private class clients are easily available to perform as well”. All until 2022 when i thought of launching them commercially w/proper performing team for Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 gigs to do MORE. Several of these local clients join our other regular classes too & viz a versa. Our other programs such as “mommy and me” were also serving to programs for adults performance batches by genre or category.

Prior to 2022, I had my own folk and bharatanatyam adults grads, my seniors/classmates for upto 10 years before/after me and one of our adults elite line grads were from irving too in bollywood(ms. deepthi and sindhu’s grps) + our choreographers often form a team and we have lot of young elites so somebody is always available! so that was working out by 2022.

Package pricing varies by custom list of services, genre, category, goals. At times, there is no purpose to these private packages. Families just come to have fun while we announce some specials or promotions during some celebrations of our brand acheivements. Just like all our programs, this one is also a best seller!

More than 112 packages sold by exclusively hetal joshi m / hetal nagaraj. Company achievements for private packages are countable and not counted in these lists of hetal nagaraj’s own achievements and those will be posted very soon! This is mostly because all choreographers were either part-time or it was difficult for them to do those.

Ms. Hetal has speciality in couples, marriage sangeet community folk as well as bollywood dances along with latin and several other by genre and at times, by category specialities.

Variety of private packages are conveniently listed for those who would like to see all the fun activities that we do at grace and grooves or under hetalnagarajdance.

Usually most packages are priced at 350$-400$ to 700$ for 5 hours and then other charges applicable depending on type of work/requests and requirements. This is because of specialities and specifications/clarity requested such as latin, hiphop, salsa, waltz, ballroom, fusion latin, cinematography and so on!

So far 112 successfully delivered and some of which are returning clients or 2nd generation of clients exclusively by Hetal Joshi M.

Do you know ? Ms. Hetal’s highest 5 hour package sold till date is 1500$ for an elite program with specific list of requirements for an extremely advance dancer couple from California.

Dancers Paradise means More!!! Hetal Joshi M

Dancers Paradise means More than you thought. Here’s the example of our own owner who performs back to back in multiple genres and specialities.

Link : https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.759694799491799&type=3

In this album, it is about “number of performances” as a classified count. Each performance is entirely different performance. Each performance may or may not be in entire different genre.

***Occassionally costumes are similar too and that depends on programs if we have any time in-between 2 performances to change the clothing/costume!

Thus, some pictures might seem like “same picture or same thing” but it is “not the same performance so how it is the same thing 🙂“.

***It is an entire different performance and at times in entire different genre too (multiple genre speciality) and thus it has to be posted again!

***During commercial programs, we don’t perform for 1 performance because of all the makeup, hair/clothing that goes in each performance and level of these dances are entirely on different levels. Minimum dance run time or booking of each program/event for us is 30 mins to 1 hour. And so, we don’t get much time to change the costumes.

***Occassionaly in public culture shows, we perform for 5 mins just once because of time limit. Since our elites and myself often cover several dancers/musicals or danceathons, we often dance MORE dances/performance as group or solo than most average dancers. This is because of “multi-speciality” and my trainings to my Elites.

*** For competitions, it is by competitions rules about the time duration of each performance or if multiple rounds or multiple genres are allowed.

*** In school recitals depending on teams or the levels of programs, each dancer may or may not dance multiple times in multiple performances 🙂. School productions too similar.

***We are a dancers’ company/paradise. A place where dancers are “allowed” to perform “more” than just once. Your capacity and so most welcome to do it.

***We too have to think about costume budgets so occassionally several costumes are repeated depending on genre or requested by client. And because we are one of the highest costume seller of award winning costumes too, sometimes some costumes are picked again and again by almost all clients, as is.

We are pointed to direct links that we submit as our company that i want this costume/performance and these exact dancers 🙂. these clients/producers/organisers pay for it so we have to give exactly what they want and by genre or category. Names of dancers are also provided as it is required for insurance purposes. It is that clear.

***Each performance is minimum 3 to 5 or 8mins depending on genre/category or as requested/by genre and this includes entry and exit of stage and with entire new song/medley if so!

*** This is not to confuse with medley of song that is : multiple songs/remixes in one song. This performance album means each picture resembles entire different medley if you want to understand it that way. Only bollywood & new trends has that medley switch of songs while most other genres usually stick to 1 song or 1 remix for the whole dance. New to you ?
