I made myself an Elite in all genres and categories with full trainings as and when I needed by each skill. 39 years of performing arts, 4th generation success, created 5th generation of independent and successful as well, created several 1st line of successful Elites by genre and category, 27 years of business, 2nd generation of graduates, created my company’s 6 lines of Elites(people like me) by genre and category. exclusive to me. yes, i “teach & supervise” in classes. And only 2 staff people till date terminated. 1 b’coz of criminal activities that got caught and 1 to safe guard the mental health of team members/elites and myself.
What does that tell you about me. I will take that as success.
are you telling me it’s not about money or success? haha, that’s some joke. Go through activity list other than regular/routine dance classes – https://wp.me/p7EbkV-42u
+ backstage coordination team work, company practices for elites and his positions, costume stock register work before and after the program. Hetal Nagaraj Dance.
For those who don’t know – 41 participants, 31 dancers and more than 100 costumes, props and accessories used in this event.
Grace And Grooves Group of Companies provides costumes to match the theme/concept of the program.
good job vinish! We need people like you.
barely 2 operating months with our teams and staff absolutely loved your engagements to the company. we love you!
Bhoomi Trivedi was Grace And Grooves Group of Companies, Hetal Nagaraj Dance first sponsored program as main entertainer and thank you so much DFW for such an amazing response! The whole crowd was singing and clapping as we entertained. Sponsored means we as Grace And Grooves Group of Companies paid for it.
30 activities(workshops/external productions/gigs and all of other activities) other than regular classes – https://www.hetaln.com/all-workshops
sponsored programs – https://www.hetaln.com/my-sponsored
fundraisers – https://www.hetaln.com/my-fundraisers
***Bhoomi Trivedi dances/choreography/techniques and everything in it were our own award winning dances that have won awards in competitions as well as culture awards for heritage and ethnicity. Genre – multiple genre as it was medley.
Hetal Nagaraj Dance specializes in productions as well to create beautiful artistic award winning dances.
– the project was never independently released as Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 was abruptly undertaken by Hetal Nagaraj Dance and thus the performances were used in diff programs). Funding was from Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 previous owner.
the dance was first prepared by Hetal Nagaraj Dance for 2019 Sarvaa Cinema Dance And Theater Production Series and this is ms. puja’s version that got 1st place audition round to make Puja Natesan eligible for international program/online in 2020. lovely work

Sponsored program means Hetal Nagaraj Dance paid – https://www.hetaln.com/my-sponsored-events
Directed/taught/fully rehearsed by & with @hetalnagarajdance in it all the existing wins of Elites, ms anula and hetal had to take the load of replacing 2 ppl that were fired a week before either due to constant no show in practices & criminal fraud. 1 of which had family emergency.
Bhoomi trivedi’s performances were medley of glimpse of Elite’s win of (Ashna Pethe, Nirja Setty, Samarth Setty, Setty Siblings,and mansi during her volunteer lead internships/@Texas All Star Talents) culture & competition awards prior/in 2020.
This is exactly why we love to work/prefer with technique focused people or people with trained background. Delivery of big projects either sponsored(where I pay) or gigs (where we get paid) is very easy and less stressful on everybody as practice time reduces drastically. Some people ask us and wonder why Elites don’t get sick? They do get sick at times just a week before the competition or submission or gig and very bad sick. It is the training of techniques that works like magic as physical work reduces drastically. see, so many wins at times hattrick, programs, gigs + activities(of curriculum competitions and by level). You can do new work too every-time because of conversations of techniques. When in short of time, techniques make a way! It always has made a way. All that muscle memory of practicing techniques in training hours and achieving mastery during trainings works like magic. #YES. We write choreo here.
Thus all this was and is possible – https://samnir.blog/…/list-of-all-the-programs-events…/

this pic is example! In these productions every single participant is considered for a specific role of performance on stage.
Mansi is Texas All Star Talents program graduate.
Mansi have handled all our teens, active adults backstage & have initiated several gigs too. excellent team member & extremely responsible!
So responsible that mansi has an exclusive authority in all the company logins with her own access/gadgets/gears/access to elites programs and that she can use anytime without permission of Hetal Nagaraj Dance. With great power comes responsibility. With responsibility comes great power too!
History of nobody has that power in company. Not even hetal’s huby or own kids(who are very young babies and thus are naive) have any of these access!
Dances on our own inhouse remix music of medleys and remixes.
@hetalnagaraj’s way of owning the company without owning anything or anybody.
Creating 1st generation of performing arts under Hetal Nagaraj Dance congratulations!

Supervisor – Hetal Nagaraj Dance
— Hetal Nagaraj Dance adopts fundraiser for the whole year or entire academic year with series of activities by contract. For those who don’t know, Hetal Nagaraj Dance has worked with Child Rights and You India too during its establishment days during college years. This pic however is of Ms. Deepthi’s solo work for a literature series which was closely supervised by Hetal Nagaraj Dance for Bharatanatyam and creative bharatanatyam series. Soon after, she took several breaks so couldn’t continue with those series. On this day, Oct 10, 2015, several elites that were absolute beginners such as Aahana, Setty Siblings, Nirja Setty, Samarth Setty, bani patel and several others participated in that program on the Oct 10th.
selfchoreo.
Ms.anna.
ms.rinku was launched for manipuri kathak in 2019 Anantha Classical Dance & Theater Production Series and because of her unavailability, Reachh Mediaa Since 2013 programs or gigs were not proposed as ms rinku refused to dance w/national international elites and these were all group.
12 to 15 students adults and teens enrolled in kathak and ms.rinku refused to do classes in flowermound and lewisville, despite the % & other contractual agreements.
students then joined our Nruthyakala Folk Dance Academy and Mirchi Dance Academy and graduated to diploma level in 2022. Launch was successful because of full enrollments at 2 centers.
Company stopped encouraging “free introductory/launch” solo or group performances for inhouse choreographers since then as company had to incur advertisement costs for this activity. #YES
Needless to say, i still offer lessons in all my locations;graduates by location.
—
Company have always advertised to achieve goals and message of the company clear. Some of our best elites were found through advertisements. Word of mouth becomes irrelevant when we have more than 30 activities and more than 8 genres to advertise or speak of.
Half of ppl don’t know what we do!
Word of mouth is usually great for one product or service.
