External PR Success in Indian Competitions — Reachh Mediaa

External PR Success in Indian Dance Competitions – Reachh Mediaa

External – Other Companies Students – Trained at some intermediate level and above.

Please note that, these external PR success – achievements belong to students or their own teachers and thus, are not accounted in Grace And Grooves own participation of indian and non indian dance competitions.

Unless fully trained for several milestone skills and there is huge difference in level through trainings of Hetal Joshi Nagaraj – which is remarkably seen.

Deliberately, thus, Ms. Hetal has kept this post seperate.

About Grace And Grooves Wins – Grace And Grooves wins are through full trainings of certain skills, performance rubrics, 99% are from scratch – Hetal’s own throughout including her own kids – as well (as young as 3.5 years onwards) and are mentioned on this link, exclusively by genre https://www.hetaln.com/awards-competitions.

Hetal Joshi Nagaraj personally undertakes those lessons for all of below or above. Depends since company never had any anybody available through the process. It is a process, level by level and sometimes it spans throughout the year!
Company name, teachers name or PR company’s name is never submitted – at times even the candidate name is not mentioned as candidate is assigned a roll number until asked for.
PR firm name is also never disclosed for the safety of brand and candidate. It should not matter where the candidate come from or who trained — during these specific submissions.
Grace And Grooves Corp offers seperate trainings as in brand itself.

Student Training & Competition Participation —-

  • A student may participate in the following –
    • competition-specific training,
    • foundational workshops, or
    • progressive skill-building workshops or
    • correction packages
    • All of this —–
      • just to develop the technical skills required for a particular opportunity or to meet eligibility requirements. It is very much like — trying to fit in category that parents’ or students “want to” fit in – thus, the certain skills are to be unlocked.
  • Participation in a competition does not necessarily mean that the student was preparing exclusively for competition. We are aware people do that and we have seperate brand for it – at Grace And Grooves —– mostly couples do that.
    • In many cases, competition participation dates naturally aligns with the student’s ongoing training and progression. Since schools always open those opportunities, it is decision by parents, student and teachers themselves whether or not it would be feasible to participate in the competition!
    • When we talk about competition, mental readiness of parents, student or certain competition rubrics criteria is to be met, certain process flexibility, feasibility to go through the whole process is not something to throw it away. To know where you stand among 10 people who do not know you and get the win — is on a whole different level of win!
  • Students may complete multiple progressive workshops back-to-back, building their skills over time. If a competition opportunity becomes available during that period, the student may choose to participate based on their readiness and eligibility.
  • Students may also train with multiple dance teachers or organizations or may be an ever lasting student of other dance school or academy, prior to coming to Grace And Grooves or during Grace And Grooves as well — while participating in workshops, competitions, productions, and other performing-arts opportunities. These activities can complement rather than replace their primary training.
  • Best Example to understand this — Sanvi Sharma:
    • Sanvi was/is a Grace And Grooves’ student from 2019–2021, participating in various progressive Bollywood and Indian folk dance training programs. Barely a month of her enrollment, there was a forced covid-19 lockdown in Feb 2020 – and classes were held online throughout the period until students were comfortable – in person, despite 6ft mandatory health guidelines by the govt.
    • She is one of those student who learned about Hetal Joshi Nagaraj through one of the venue rentals which Hetal Joshi Nagaraj uses for her workshops in Mckinney side areas– ccassionally or for shoot-activities if too many participants are from that side. Parents have openly discussed other opportunities in future.
    • During the same period, Sanvi completed several progressive workshops and training opportunities under Hetal Joshi Nagaraj’s Dhamaal Events, USA Brand under Hetal Joshi Nagaraj throughout, Mansi-10 hours, and about 8 hours with Santhosh as the lockdown enforced online activities.
    • Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, she was unable to participate for all the in-house productions of Grace And Grooves Corp as those were anyway cancelled — during her enrollment period. But then, during 2020 pandemic, there were several competitions that were showcased online and some became nationalized too because of digital advancements —and this became opportunity!
    • There are times when teacher of the institute works hand in hand with Hetal Joshi Nagaraj just for the win and thus, it becomes Reachh Mediaa WIN as the teacher fully supported and worked on every important aspect that needs to be addressed — to pass through the win.
    • There are times—teachers do not want to involve as it is additional tasks and it does require complexities which a gifted or just talented passonate individual may not be able to tread through.
    • As certain competitions aligned with the skills Sanvi had developed in those workshops and the eligibility requirements she met, she participated in those competitions. Only because dates aligned!
    • The example is set only as the latest one known and seen in promos.

Therefore, competition participation should be viewed within the broader context of a student’s training journey, rather than as evidence that all training was specifically undertaken for a particular competition. The exposure is definitely beneficial to students as it brings healthy sportsmanship in life!

PR is never about company or guru. It is about student, candidate or participant – always. When a student of other dance academy comes to Hetal Joshi Nagaraj for just about anything (other than Hetal’s or Grace And Grooves’ own), Hetal Joshi Nagaraj automatically becomes a representation of this candidate — because it is about student. As a fierce PR, Hetal Joshi Nagaraj does not back down.
Win per level is mentioned here. Some submissions may have multiple levels as well but the win is at every level ensures that one can go to the next!

PR sacks badly if you want to stick in certain categories as some parents are adamant and lot of complexities are required to be achieved.

Willingness to win should be a priority here as sometimes the change in category may offer “better” returns or multiple wins.

We will not mention full name of candidate except for few of them, based on waivers.

We will love to mention highest number of PR wins from certain dance schools — we are absolutely thrilled to see amazing skilled-talents in DFW and Hetal Joshi Nagaraj loves students of those academies as her representation!

She calls them, no drama institutes.

PR – Reachh Mediaa – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.
