Duet Pairs of Hetal Nagaraj | Grace And Grooves

Duet Pairs of Hetal Nagaraj | Grace And Grooves

Talk about Chemistry(as these students are brought up together or can talk through choreo from previous classes and are readily available due to time schedules of practices)

+ their Trainings either with hetalnagaraj or with their previous teachers make it easy to practice or perform or get advance trainings together and thus the results too.

2013 – Duet series were commenced in 2013 in various genres to meet the requirements of these programs where solo(s), duet(s) in small stages(due to budget of org) were successfully performed on stage, by request with themes and concept exclusively under Hetal Nagaraj.

These performances were within the genre and without genre. Without foresaking fundamentals of dance form or genre. This was also requested by categories which several of our students delivered successfully along with several fusion performances for modern audiences.

All of these activities with Awards/Nominations and successful delivery of projects without age limits or gender! Everything counts. To sync in with each other for the results.

Some elites may have probably performed together once or max twice for prob 1 min or so and may not make it to this list as “they have not consistently made a team of duet out of themselves or performances were not for submission or gigs”.

By Genre, By Category, By Dance Form or By Style, By Theme, By Concept.

Some of our famously known duet series are winners in several programs, competitions, commercial, shoots, submissions, fundraising, hired projects or self-sponsored gigs, by genre and by category and several of these with awards as well as nominations, depending on programs and organizers. These all activities were successfully delivered by the following dancers exclusively under hetalnagaraj with hetalnagaraj herself in several duets:

  • Nirja-Srinija 2010 to 2016 : Indian Folk Dances, Bollywood, Tollywood, Bollyhop and Semi Classical Fusions.
  • Deepthi-Sindhu 2014 to current : Bollywood, Tollywood, Bollyhop, Semi-Classical and Classical Fusions.

  • Setty Siblings – 2009 to current : wip
  • Vijay-Jinal- 2021 onwards : wip
  • and several others in line as we will find those.

Very soon the performances will be linked as well because so many of these!

You can alternatively see those performances in several promos and all our performances too taking the load of main dancer or group lead by themselves! While looking at these performances, some may think of margins. For private classes(other than regular classes once a week) and above certain levels of performing arts, it is not about margins :). These are scheduled and arranged at different pricing for a specific program and to elevate dancers’ levels for submisions and some are gigs and some are paid for.

At certain advance levels, It is about money – delivery. Be it projects with gigs w/payouts or as fundraisers. These activities automatically raise the margins because of dances performed in it. It is what it is. Straight background often makes it easier.

And ofcourse there are groups that perform for basic culture/community shows as well and we welcome those as well.

Gallery coming soon!

Fun Facts : Hetal Nagaraj has danced/shoot/shot/on stage performed with only 6 men till date as their partner/pair throughout the year. Names of these individuals are :

  • Kunal+Gaurav Swap as group pairs (Gandhinagar-Koli marathi folk annual show, Mt Carmel/St. Xaviers).
  • Viral (Gandhinagar-goa couple dance valentine day school spring / annual program, Mt Carmel/St. Xaviers).
  • Purvesh (Ahmedabad-Garba Folk Competition at YMCA), Hetal found him in 2022 via social media search.
  • Nigel (shots/stills for matching sports wear – NIKE submission, Ahmedabad).
  • Manodeep (Ahmedabad) for Mock Ad submissions (to speak abt insurance for advertising crew for training scripts terminology) for Old Mutual & Kotak Mahindra’s (merger) product lines for billboards & media.
  • Nagaraj for dance and shoots (her own huby from 2000 mostly in parties/corporate parties/friends/family, couple dances formal balls or salsa nights + 2 shoots for a couple shoot-submission).

Other crew members that Hetal Nagaraj has danced with are usually the “out of company collaborations” listed here.

Hetal is still friends with all of them.

To clarify, Hetal Nagaraj does not have any patrick /movie type/Kite/or infact any such scenario anywhere. Straight life with all trainings completed in full and with own school/college/teachers groups or as their host for trainings in submissions for media & partnering brands or a replacement dancer because of emergencies or last min dropouts (if present in city and by speciality).

Hetal was 20 yrs old when nagaraj entered her life and so this happened : www.hetaln.com. And then after a very long time once done with family kids (b’coz consistency is required to do regular classes), this happened independently and exclusively. www.graceandgrooves.com.

Part time from 1999(weekends only and independent projects/commercial gigs/workshops/private groups) & full time from 2019!

We were hoping that by 2023 – Sept 31st or Oct 10th max, all the uploads will be done but due to limited upload of response time on facebook, we had to limit 1-2 uploads per day. Today is Oct 24, 2023 and we are still uploading all our performing arts activities (these are other than regular once a week dance lessons). Just today, a new phone backup file was discovered from zip files (other than the previously sorted ones that are yet to be uploaded) and the new ones are still to be sorted.

These are the activities that we do under Hetal Nagaraj other than regular classes (once a week) and because of exclusive own participation and leadership with more than 98% of involvements/engagemnts, these are listed on Hetal’s dance page -> photos -> albums and will be listed on her personal website too : https://www.facebook.com/hetalnagarajdance/photos_albums

Hope you all enjoy the uploads.

Looks like these will continue for a while along with weekly updates of the company such as Pre.Elites Saturdays, Elites-Sundays and Artist of the Week-Wednesdays/Thursdays. Company contributions as crew will be uploaded as well and independent albums of independent projects with full leadership of choreographers are also being uploaded in related albums with technique list from Hetal Nagaraj for students.

Why so many workshops ?

Why so many workshops ?

Some are booked by org,

some by companies,

some by texas registered educational colleges/universities/entertainment/groups

some by private groups with goals in mind.

why so many workshop or hourly programs ? because sometimes people approach with their own groups.

So a certain time is allocated just for them. simple as that!

Since we are skill based technique focused dance training center, all are welcomed as long as we follow the schedule. These workshops can be conducted at our locations or at your own locations.

Some on-going class-batches coincide to our existing syllabus and request from these groups. while some may not! If they do coincide to our existing syllabus then students do take those classes that are on-going in the dance curriculam. It is very much like credit system. Sometimes it is viz a versa if some students have to take certain skills then if groups are okay then these students join them for few lessons or until the skill is mastered. It depends.

We are a dance school and a training center with more than 50 specialities just under me/hetalnagaraj. My/our focus is not on culture shows and yet we have results as we follow benchmark every 9 to 12 weeks of proper learning of each technique by genre. We do have some batches that might get ready for culture shows as well and we always encourage but we don’t push for kids to perform. My stage shows are known for providing a perfect platform as compared to culture groups for several aspects as compared to several dance teachers because of the way we do it, with certain goals in mind.

This is due to my own specialities with full transparency and traceability unlike several teachers who do it only because they did not have other things to do or something like that. Some like me start their journey directly being introduced to performing arts with contracts/MOU and so we follow the similar path.

It is safe for everybody to abide by contracts/MOU. This is one of the reason i don’t collaborate with anybody OR I don’t claim to work with anybody without paperwork or legit contract. I don’t allow to work for me without MOU. If you can’t sign the paper that clarifies your precise engagements with me then we can’t have you. Period!

This has been my mojo from the time i entered this field in 1993-1994 as this is exactly how i was introduced to this field. History.

I never claim to work with anybody without any paperwork/invoice or any letter of invite/sponsorships/and so onn. If you don’t have a way to show it then it did not happen. If you have to hide it from somebody or public then it is not worth showing or is not legit which is sort of questionable. Life should be open as a clean book. Good or bad. It is what it is. You could go LIVE with some creative dance or skill as well and it could be not be the genre or category! period.

Because I have everything that I need to show as is and so I show it openly, my own work + my teachers or peers work too that i dance/perform on and my team’s work too : https://www.facebook.com/hetalnagarajdance/photos_albums

My name was openly publicize too during all my job/work assingments and so we too publicize our staff list openly. It is in the best interest of everybody as everybody in this team under me works hard through trainings or through their own achievements. By mistake, i don’t want anybody to take other Elite’s work or any staff work too. It is what it is.

We are training center with multiple specialities and several commercial activities and so we cannot afford to have anybody take advantage of anything or specifically, anybody!

Something about me and Hhow I balance my life – How i balance my life is none of anybody’s business and that includes how i run my projects under hetaln.com. some of my staff works in 2nd and 3rd generations and that tells anybody how I handle it. My family doesn’t eat outside food for more than 2-3 days and i have my own intact-social circle without showcasing it and you will see my pictures everywhere because that too is open. My family is happy with the way we live, i am role model of being one of the most influential person in my family and it is always, go ask hetal aunty she knows it better! go figure out why. my younger generations take my advices because of my successes, my inlaws are happy with me, my husband is happiest guy on earth and so am i. i am spoiled with so much love that you can only dream of being loved so much.

Why would people in my family/friends love me so much. They don’t do it to show anybody. Who is anybody to question how I should balance at any given point of time. Who are you to me that I will change anything for you in my personal life! Your break is not my break. Your capacity is not my capacity. Some people like me are used to living a high activity/capacity life because of life goals and we are trained like that. Having worked with 2-3 generations, we know what other people’s capacity is. We don’t starve, we don’t over work, we work exactly what we can, we don’t exhaust, we don’t shout/yell, we say no means no, we say yes means yes, we don’t compromise on our living for anything then who is anybody to judge anything i do.

dare to live this high quality life with such a wonderful habits in life that builds the life of people? Here’s one of my bucket list. Just one of them. Go figure how I live.

Just like that www.hetaln.com did not happen.

Staff list is conviniently available at all times, good or bad, it is right there, as is. It is what it is. : https://wp.me/p7EbkV-1Es

You do what’s in your capacity and that includes multiple specialities if you can do as I do with full transparency and traceability. if you love dance so much, why don’t do it beautifully as I do and why there is no value as there is value of mine ? is that how you treat something that you love so much! Exactly a reason why i don’t collab just like that.

My each class has that value and result and it has value for $$. 3500 students instructed till date, more than 150 graduates in DFW itself.

This post is exclusively by hetalnagaraj.

Pre.Elite, Elite Deepthi as Student, Internship and a path.

Ms. Deepthi was launched directly with internship program along with group of adults of semi-classical private package program(to dance for several gigs as well as performances, and to learn to teach) grad as well as several other supervised internships in company work Texas All Star Talents, Reachh Mediaa Since 2013, Grace And Grooves Group of Companies, and The Grace Effects. exclusively under Hetal Nagaraj Dance, Hetal Joshi M

******Successfully delivered all projects that were assigned. ms. deepthi took the work that she thought she could deliver. Never a complaint from any client and maintained all that was assigned. Corrected everything that was supervised for and as received feedbacks from paernts.

Ms Deepthi joined for internship programs at Irving location for Texas All Star Talents and at Reachh Mediaa Since 2013. Ms. Deepthi’s role in Grace And Grooves Group of Companies was exclusively under Hetal Nagaraj Dance, Hetal Joshi M for multiple roles from dancer, staff(Texas All Star Talents), occassional gigs under The Grace Effects and instructor(Hetal Nagaraj Dance‘s own batch of mommy n me programs-adults bollywood).

Ms. deepthi was instructing at our internship program of semi classical for which we have our pre.elite/elite Ms. sindhu as well. Ms. Deepthi has also handled Texas All Star Talents exclusively for 1.5 year.

Other supervisor work includes handling company local DFW operations while Hetal Nagaraj Dance was in India for her MFA residency program/exams as a full time staff (1 month – each year for 2 years).

All the work that was assigned to ms. deepthi was completed satisfactorily for every project that was assigned at her will/time and her ability to handle as per her own schedule. All clients were maintained and happy.

But with several breaks in-between availability and thus, Ms. deepthi’s classes were never announced or was offered Hetal Nagaraj Dance‘s batches as is because of availability.

Ms. deepthi’s other work also included part time or short projects and once a while available because of kids’ commitment(extremely young kids).

***After 2019 program of Sarvaa Cinema Dance And Theater Production Series, ms. deepthi was on her way to family w/longest “absence” in activities of the company with repeated remarks of being unavailable for company gigs (while dancing somewhere else).

In 2023, Ms. deepthi was released with all due respect from all duties of the company.

this was because of Ms. deepthi’s extremely awkward reaction(outbursts) to our accomplishment pictures that were displayed w/ms. deepthi’s picture. this reaction/disrespectful sms to Hetal Nagaraj Dance threatening Hetal Nagaraj Dance for legal action for which ms. deepthi has signed waivers of releases of all the company achievements/pics/videos/insurance. Until 2023, all uploads was okay and then all of sudden in 2023 , this outburst! This wasn’t the first time that ms. deepthi has behaved like this with ms. hetal.

Ms. deepthi as well expected to receive certain perks of certain elites. It was known to Ms. deepthi that ms. deepthi cannot compare herself with those *in-house Elites perks that these Elites earn* as they are available to perform and it is their videos that bring $$ to the business which pays for everything. Their performances/participations are higher in number as well.

We cannot assign a considerable duties or any full-time work to somebody who takes so many breaks throughout the year or multiple years in company while others wait for those opportunities and then back off repeatedly to dance at other programs.

this includes video releases of ms. deepthi’s dances which ms. deepthi requested to post first. We cannot post ms. deepthi’s videos when ms. deepthi wants while ms. deepthi was not available for company everytime company wanted! ***Prior to this as well, we had these incidents with these outbursts in sms and being disrespectful to “other” elites. Those elites perform regularly and consistently without any dance related participations anywhere else.

Either way, these videos are often posted in promos and will be anyways posted sooner or later depending on the order of certain activities.

Deepthi’s launch activities: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.638962231565057&type=3&mibextid=ncKXMA

Accomplishments under Hetalnagaraj :

Deepthi earned perks of nearly 4000$ in just the perks as gigs and she maintained one batch that was ms.hetal’s own batch. Deepthi maintained it well for 2 years(100hrs). Amongst the only texas all star talents choreographer and an intern that was offered a full time position w/full time salary with visa if deepthi agrees to work full time 40hr.

Well, she couldn’t work more than 5hr to 10hr a week so she has to pass this!

Trainings Earned through volunteer hours and other commitments : Rama Vaidyanathan’s workshops-12 hour, margam workshops under hetalnagaraj 10 hr : Ms. deepthi was busy.

Company pays for all our dedicated choreographers trainings for various subjects or workshops to prepare them for being soloist or freelancers.**conditions apply.

Other tainings : Bollywood Training, Semi-classical training, corrections in folk by video sharing and mentorship by hetalnagaraj.

Performed : creative varnam, invocations, creative bharatanatyam on tamil/malayalum literature, shiva series, garvi gujarat series, thillana fusion series, rg2 launch. Guest appearances during several performances as main dancer. List is in process. To be continued.

Bharatanatyam Teaching / Instruction : Was not available to teach regularly or by class dates/consistently and does not know curriculam of order of curriculam and so was never provided either.

Other nominations : 2 times culture awards. Somehow always missing during the important nomination shoots, media and submissions.

Most of our trained artists or students from texas all star talents programs that are willing to learn to teach or do these educational activities join as volunteer programs first and excel all the way to earning several accomplishments in the company. This one being the only one that was offered a full visa with 40hour work schedule dance and non.dance and a salary! Aspriing students/students in high schools/college/universities are welcome to apply for these positions that lead to management as well as key positions. Texas All Star program is currently running only 1 program for existing high school students.(10th grade and up) with and without various scholars programs.

ALL the way from volunteer path to up!
Being a trainer, it is hetalnagaraj’s job to make sure you excel if you are coachable. Hetal creates her own teams so that she can build her own teams from it and the work is thus distributed. This is also one of the reason, ms. hetalnagaraj has herself consistently delivered by genre/category without working for anybody else. And this is one of the reason that hetalnagaraj has never worked for anybody in DFW, Texas or anywhere in performing arts. Mainly because life does call for family and for Ms. hetal herself, ms. hetal had planned her own life just the way she wanted! It is what it is.

Till date, history! The only field where ms. hetal has never worked for anybody or have worked through talent management companies. Most of these are her own classmates and that too from 1999!

Ms. deepthi was reminded at all times that all elites, pre.elites or precisely anybody that dances under Grace And Grooves Group of Companies(and that includes ms.deepthi) have signed these waivers of releases of all outcomes as is.

***Since all our pic/video/as well as costume policies are signed with strict waivers of “photo/video/statement” releases for all the accomplishments as well as all the company statements, we cannot undo those from anywhere because of number of shares or other insights that were attached to these releases as other dancers/elites videos or pictures are in there as well. Some of which are more than 2 to 10million!


We will post more pics and videos later. More about Ms. Deepthi.

Reachh Mediaa Programs : Independent to company as well.

We have several dancers who just want to perform or be the back office staff. Depending on their previous trainings & ability to perform, these dancers can pick and choose the list of activities under entire company’s program list as well as brand where these dancer can succeed! Supervision is provided in full as needed depending on activities these dancers choose as paid consult.

These bharatanatyam dancers are futher classified as margam dancer and nonmargam dancers depending on their ability to perform/identify techniques or requirements by each dance piece of asked to perform or showcase! These dancers are guided by Hetal Nagaraj depending on requirements of client or by margam depending on type of performance (as required).

Since these are trained dancers(ms.deepthi’s types) of margam institute, these students are guided at all times to just include some techniques (without teaching them like you would to a student) or by visual interface (as these are trained dancers from margam schools and so can perform). This is unlike several dancers who are taught in non-margam institute who can’t showcase or identify techniques or are unaware of those techniques and so are thus taught techniques as you would to a student under our refreshers program tech by tech by each dance piece! – Hetal Nagaraj Dance.

In several instances for Bharatanatyam, Ms. Deepthi was asked to follow several margam essentials to call it that dance piece (which she herself decided not to) and thus submissions were not possible! Ms. Hetal had reminded Ms. Deepthi several times that she is making grave mistake by not following margam because then there is no difference between Ms. Deepthi and others but Ms. Deepthi did not listen unless strictly the work was thoroughly as a team led and taught by Ms. Hetal. Thus was not called for margam activities.

Congratulations Ms. Deepthi for amazing achievements with the company! Wishing you well.

Therefore, Ms.deepthi was succesful with whatever time she could commit to the company under @hetalnagaraj. It was ms.deepthi’s request to only work for @hetalnagaraj and first hand elites.

Experience of Ms.Hetal Joshi M for kids of all ages! Must read. Strongly recommend.

Experience of Ms.Hetal Joshi M for kids of all ages! Must read. Strongly recommend.

This was submitted today for some company & ms.hetal’s intro.

My website : hetaln.com.

I specialize in kids related activities from 1999 in all age groups. My speciality is from 8 years and up as certified international trainer in several fields.

Since I have personally worked in Montessori schools, elementary schools once a while I do take age groups of 4.5 years to 8 years because of my *hands onn training” at Montessori and recreation programs. I am able and well aware of these age groups.

  • 1. New Age montessori – parent of the year volunteer commitments
  • 2. PTO commitments Vice President Universal Academy : Most loved parent of the Parents Board till date – History with remarkable developments in schools from fundraisers to activities and development ideas in schools for school’s growth, establishing vendors and clients for sponsorships and school fundings. Voted by 4000 parents. Highest majority!
  • 3. Rare Learning Instructor – 6months recreational classes for day time caregiver

    • Universal Academy – all grades, Irving and Coppell Locations,
    • Universities and Colleges : UT, UTD – Dallas & Arlington,
    • Collin College,
    • Dallas county colleges,
    • Dallas County Students Association
    • and City official,
    • Several chamber of commerce programs affiliated to these educational facilities.
  • – Proposed by Collin County as well for one of their programs-could not take it as i was preoccupied.
  • – Proposed by (name hidden) Schools Network as well-could not take it as i was preoccupied.

Cities that I have worked with and often work with for various programs ALL age groups –

  • – Cities worked with for all age groups and/or are my regular clients:
    • City of Irving
    • City of Frisco
    • City of Southlake
    • Grapevine City via 3rd party contract – till date client of ours. 10 years.
    • City of Dallas several activities.
    • Library Programs Direct city programs as well
    • Several Orgs/Parents Associations,
    • Workshops and Performances at irving isd, Lewisville ISD, and several institutions with full waivers
  • Chamber of Commerce – Tarrant, Collin, Denton Corporate offices, Dallas and many more.
  • Fortworth Organizations, Fortworth/Arlington R**** Associations, 2 Charter Schools, Stadium Gigs
  • Nominated twice by Governer, Mayors – Arlington and at Fortworth. Pics are in the performance folder 2015-2016-2017

This is just experience of ms.hetalnagaraj by herself. This is other than the experience in India or commercial projects and several are purely educational!

This experience also tells anybody about the number of kids or students i have handled single handed without any issue and also without a single complaint (irrespective of dance). Till date history as of 2022.

I take several children wellness projects of very young (below 5 years old) kids to understand certain behaviors of children. These were mostly for special needs and kids with other ailments or i had to closely watch their reactions to understand their psychology on a normal day. There are normal kids as well for which I offer these services.

Rare learning and Montessori(s) was my lowest job (lol, it was not about money) but these places have those kids i was looking for to work for a client! how much can you gain an experience with your own kids or just students that are enrolled at our companies?

Ppl might think why would you spend time at such lower level when your average hour is 400$ to 500$ per hour. It is very simple. Sometimes to achieve on higher grounds, you have to work at below ground zero or at ground zero. Thus today’s success. Never be ashamed to work at ground levels or with your teams as a team member. That is where magic is and so I own everything you do without any name anywhere.

Just my wellness client is 70$ to 100$ an hour minimum and those client treatments and meal plans are for months. To understand certain age groups, or special needs, behavior and patterns if any, these are the only places.

How much can you gain experience with your own kids or just the kids at our dance school!

They may not match any characteristics or anything as matter of fact. For dance and some other fields(www.hetaln.com), more than 3500 students are instructed as of 2022 under hetalnagarajdance! More than 150 graduates exclusive to hetalnagaraj. That’s Ms. Hetal’s experience in all ages just her own experience.Define part time. Part Time until 2019.

And then follows rules, laws, waivers, compliance, forms, background check, drug check, security, alcohol tests, first aid certification requirement, and so onn. List is huge!

Logic is very simple. When you do it then you know it. When you know it then chances of success are higher. See ms.hetal at some pre.school for few weeks or probably once while at certain place only. Well, this is the reason!

One life 🙂 thus success in each age group.

Just be careful before you come to Ms. Hetal with some acts of stupidity. Ms. Hetal is a trainer. Ms. Hetal will catch you because all classes are fully recorded for quality purposes and Ms. Hetal’s transparency, full traceability and success ratio with full proof preceeds almost all the people in her fields.

To mention, Ms. hetal was caregiver for own younger brother at the age of 11. Life was too early. A girl at an age of 22 who wanted to get married and have kids(along with career) because ms. hetal wanted her own family. Who dreams of creating life around family. Before anybody knew, Ms. Hetal made it happen. www.hetaln.com.

IT IS NORMAL AT GRACE AND GROOVES UNDER HETALNAGARAJ FOR KIDS TO ACHIEVE SO MUCH AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. MS. HETAL IS IIM-INTERNATIONALLY CERTIFIED TRAINER PLUS ALL THAT AMAZING BACKGROUND WITH 100% TRANSPARENCY. THUS THE RESULTS!

NEW TO YOU ?

We were not joking when we said that without Hetal Nagaraj Dance’s word, anything will not move in this company. Hetal Nagaraj Dance doesn’t have to sign any papers or Hetal Nagaraj Dance doesn’t have to write her own name on ownership as well. We call this “owning the company without paperwork”. Every student, ms. hetal is made exclusively by hetalnagaraj with 100% transparency. Without transparency, ms. hetal does not allow any instructor to get hold of anybody.

Just safety of students and obviously benchmark every 9 to 12 weeks. After all, we are a dance school!

To be this, you have to be this transparent and create this BIG :  https://www.facebook.com/hetalnagarajdance/photos_albums

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.

New to you ?

– direct from fb post on @hetalnagarajdance page

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 ?
