The Exception of short term trainings in Bharatanatyam – Not the case for Hetal Joshi Nagaraj though. But, Hetal Joshi Nagaraj has one such exception!

Tejaswini.

If somebody attends classes every single day without fail, practices religiously every single day then the whole dynamics itself changes and this is possibility to complete it in extremely short time.

Tejaswini attended Bharatanatyam classes in every single location, 3 to 4 days in week in group classes, 1 day of private class and both the days of weekend.

In that year, Hetal Joshi Nagaraj herself had 6 locations. Though part time 3 hour per location are more than enough for a young adult to master — whatever is taught.

Muscle memory is very powerful and allows to regain the movements that a body recalls even if brain may not. Ms. Puja was much later on this.

During trainings, it was discovered that she had learned mix of Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam in her South Indian School which confused her about the dance form, she had mastered. Upon trainings, it was concluded that she had learned little bit of both. This is exactly the words, Hetal Joshi Nagaraj told her during her submission of audition school clip for enrollment of Bharatanatyam program. As for those who have done some training, some demonstration is required to show the learnings if not the college or school clips.

Her email to Hetal Joshi Nagaraj – I have done some classical trainings in school and college. All teachers are getting confused and they are confusing me too. I see you offer multi style. Can you help me complete it. That’s how she enrolled. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj asked her–would it matter if she learned Bharatanatyam! She emailed – she does not care. Just not something new as Folk and other is new.

Tejaswini completed the training in 1 year to rush to her family life goals right after.

She could showcase and demonstrate kuchipudi in her solo work remarkably seperately as well and Samarth Setty danced with her — not knowing it was kuchipudi, in her own solo work assignment.

It was in Anantha 2019, and by then she had completed entire Bharatanatyam trainings and thus, could easily seperate both the dance forms!

When Hetal Joshi Nagaraj told Samarth Setty and other Bharatanatyam students — this is kuchipudi, they all smiled. It is Like-Bharatanatyam but different.

Hetal Joshi Nagaraj had her very first experience of this.

In south indian schools, it is normal for teachers to instruct these as combined effort just like some college teams in USA. While in Gujarat, Indian Folk and Bharatanatyam is most common. Parsi and Nepali Folk is predominant in cities with army and defense programs. During Hetal Joshi Nagaraj’s passing years itself, bollywood and hiphop were added for younger generations as Hetal could see it in her juniors’ programs and other former school programs. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj is well connected to her junior batch mates through out the decades.

While these 2 dance forms are extremely alike to a layman eye, a dancer can easily learn these without any extra muscle training as a “new” movement.

Fun Facts —- Hetal Joshi Nagaraj is a scholar whose notes are till date forwarded in her university areas as a guide to pass through the systems. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj left her email id on those notes and this automatically makes them contact Hetal. These students then become service providers too for hetaln.com. A remarkable example that fundamentals do not change!

The best known examples are her own SEO providers and several such junior batch mates. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj’s world is this small.
