2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 – all of above graduated, became Elites and then Elite Lines.

These individuals were to be launched in 2021-2022 but the delays hampered their launch programs and thus this post of 2021-2022 is successfully published in 2026!

You can see them tagged in several Grace And Grooves various brand launch activities on facebook, prior to 2020.

2018-2019 in particular, these individuals were in Ms Hetal’s programs back to back throughout the year from various community programs, recitals, and productions.

Elite Lines was a request to company by newbie Adults-21+

These are students-graduates-elites-elite lines from following program –

  1. Annual programs strictly once a week & Recital
  2. Mommy and me programs
  3. Couples and marriage packages
  4. 2-3rd or 1 generations family and friends packages
  5. Culture and private group packages
  6. Progressive Workshops Packages

2010-2011-2012 company was registered as Ms Hetal’s own student base spiked to 75 per location in various programs, gigs and thus, needed a bit of structure.

Prior to 2011 itself, Ms Hetal had her own sessions and lessons-personally instructed mostly in Indian Folk, Nepal Folk, Semi-Classical, Creative Dances and lots of workshops thus Ms Hetal has lot of graduates from 2007-2008-2009 itself.

And then comes bollywood story. (2014-2015 academic year).

Not even bollywood or cinema songs per se unless folk song was directly used as is (eg-morni baga maen).

Bharatanatyam program Academic Year 2014-2015-2016 in multiple cities. Below time line as specifics.

Elite Lines – 21+ of Hetal Nagaraj

Asidegraceandgrooves group by hetal joshi 1 Comment

Elite Lines – 21+ Only.

As of May 2026, Ms Hetal has 10 Elite Lines in various countries including USA.

Ms Hetal wanted to go all passive in 2021 itself as she had exclusively achieved by 2015-2019 itself thus, G2 was planned accordingly.

Elite Line at first, was a noisy tantrum request to Ms Hetal to do more and be with company, and as independent as well.

Idea was instilled to exist by Digvijay Singh because of his massive corporate experience and basic knowhow of local compliance in 2017-2018. It was for his soon to graduate son. Around the time, his son graduated as a business major with MNC corporate job. This entry in corporate worlds made him understand complexities of work life and basic compliance. Upon graduation from Ms Hetal in 2019-2020, he just needed artistic direction and other leadership guidance of Ms Hetal. This was during the G2 launch programs and Ms. Hetal said, she is moving passive.

His exact words – “Ms. Hetal, you cannot move to passive so soon. You have to do more. You have to direct us. Take us all the way. You have to build something bigger.” 🙂. That is how the idea of Elite Lines™ was born.

This idea sparked in all of Ms. Hetal’s 21+ adult students Graduates and Elites and own kids too loved the idea.

This created Elite Lines and thus 1 to 7 were lined up in 2019-2020-2021-2022 itself.

8, 9,10 graduated and became Elites and Elite Lines back to back from 2020-2026.

2022-2024 work was nearly at paused levels because of massive multiple fraud to company and to Ms Hetal.

All 10 are Exclusive graduates, Elites of Ms Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

Company stands on 60+ official brand list and soon operative.

Current Elite Lines are 30 years and Up, although most fresh graduates in MNC Corporate life may be eligibile for it.

Current Eligibility as per those in this program, is minimal. –

  1. Country status –
    • citizenship,
    • Any other visa status that does not restrict any type of work or permissible payment modes.
  2. Must be in full 360 corporate life to understand complexities of compliance or work life unless trained under Ms Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.
  3. Must follow contract and waivers.
  4. Must report weekly on all activities.
  5. Must be a full Graduate or an Elite of Hetal Joshi Nagaraj
  6. Must represent company or Ms Hetal exactly in manner of verbiage provided on every specific activities of approved tasks.
  7. Must be aware of basic compliance, transparency of every work and recordings.
  8. Must get full approval of all tasks assigned
  9. Remuneration subject to contract and waivers-through assigned portal id.
  10. All work post production must be regularly submitted in master file.
  11. Highest grossers who brought $$$$ and lot of success to business

By all means fight with Ms Hetal :).

Good tantrums are always welcome. But give before you ask, just as Ms Hetal does 🙂.

Ms Hetal loves stubborn, rebellious, natural geniuses, hyper, mature, playful, mini gordans, karens, attitude, audacity, john doe(s), and notorious people too. As a trainer, she welcomes whatever crazy brain drives you to be.

But, it is a skill to entertain such positive stubbornness.

Ms.Hetal is woman who holds bulls by his horns, lions by their pride, elephants by their strength, politics by power, scorpions by their sting, people by their brains, snake by their poison, wolves by their packs, strategies by facts, and criminals by their crime. It’s called :).

All okay, just not at the cost of harm to kids.

2014-2015 : The project of uploading all the company developments/activities specifically of Hetal Joshi M, Hetal Nagaraj (being an owner, highest contributor due to availability, and the only full timer to the company) and the company’s uploads on social medias were initiated in 2014-2015 by Ms. Jinal Shah(not to mistake with Jigar Shah) and Ms. Jaimini Vyas/Raval, Dubai/India. (Not to mistake with Mr. Jaimin Patel-USA) to highlight the extra ordinary achievements which were exceptional in 2014 itself.

This blog was also an effort for performing arts research students that initiated the need for the first blog post for a research publication (required one public post from the submission coordinator – Hetal Joshi M/Hetal Nagaraj). Since then, it is also used for highlighting the accomplishments/achievements of the company and the activities under Ms. Hetal’s leadership as well.

However, the need for pictures/activity count/activity upload was triggered initially due to regular requests and requirement for transparency/visibility with full specifications by publicly declared award org such as news/publishing houses/mainstream media.

Why Compete!!! Where does it get you ?

Asidegraceandgrooves group by hetal joshi 2 Comments

We are asked this lot of times, sometimes when people call……..Why Compete!!! What does it get you ? Do you compete because you are not confident…LOL NO…!

Here is why we have culture to compete, perform and do educational activities.

You heard that right, culture to compete is encouraged but not necessary. Our job is to inform you, tell you pros and cons. You do it or you do not it, there is no compromise in dance 🙂 You will still learn the same exact thing even if you do not compete and in same number of classes!

Competitions that we go to are : Healthy, Fun, technique focused/education field/ and lot of them come with really good $$, some are strictly amateur level while some are really good/tough/hard/strict/competitive on techniques and other rubrics. Read about rubrics!

Benefits of competing or even giving the best performance, if you were to give !

  1. You compete because it is not always for the win….! Some competitions will teach lot of other things that even education mainstream will not give you that exposure. It is about being there, feeling it, going through it that will give you the experience.
  2. It teaches healthy sportsmanship…You will still be friends, classmates whether or not you got the wins or lose!
  3. You compete so that you know what comes out of you, under that pressures!
  4. You compete so that when you lose, it does not bother you. It becomes fun!
  5. You learn to lose and still do it all over again & learn to never give up.
  6. You win it and still do it all over again; as if it never happened.
  7. You do competitions to understand life is not about competing. It is about giving your math exam after losing 5 different competitions and still get “A” without a cry. Oh, you bet, elites have gone through that a lot of times. Just like that you do not win. Times they have not won…and still had their exams later next week…Read About them here.
  8. You do competitions so that it gives you a refined audience who knows what you are doing and they have every right to comment or critic on your performance that you will not get in culture or festival audiences or even in those reality show competitions.
  9. You compete as if you are giving your post exam that is optional and fun.
  10. You compete so that when you are there, you do not lose it, no matter what happens on that day. It is the process that teaches you.
  11. You compete so that you learn to trust your trainings..from laughing, smiling, crying, moods or whatever that may come….even if you had worst day of your life.
  12. You compete so that when you get feedback (some competitions come with educational feedback), you do the fixes and do it all over again. It is the pressure under which things will happen that may surprise everybody!
  13. You compete so that the girl or boy you just met took your 2nd place or 1st place or 3rd place and that life is all about how best you did and for what. You get to judge yourself, understand + and – of it. And what could have got you that 1st place, if you would have prob listened to your teacher. Mind you, sometimes too much/over practice too causes failures!
  14. You compete so that you learn to balance everything. It is like a dart board, you hit or miss, you will play it again until the board or the dart is available!
  15. You compete to lead and take charge of your groups’ decision for changes that may happen or support as team member when required. It is not always about you.
  16. You learn to let go your ego and learn to respect others and you learn to never laugh at others. You know what it takes to be there. It is the process.
  17. You learn to get tired, exhausted under pressure and still do a flawless job just as trained without letting audience know of how bad your day was.
  18. Some competitions comes with perks/well most that we do…some $ that students earn for themselves and pay off their own fees and we do too, some give other benefits. It just depends on type of competitions.

Competing in competitions fosters not only healthy environment for sportsmanship between students, teachers, parents, and their own friends but also lot of times depending on rubrics or type of competitions, you will amaze yourself. We have had sweet surprises when our elites forgot their dance moves and made up something(surprise-their own genre steps!) and still got 1st place. Our teachers wondered that time as to where did this step come from and yet the genre suffices and gets them 1st place. Nobody knew till date if it was mistake! While there were days when we had “oppps” moments too then back to point 10. Finish the dance even if you lost that split of the second….get back to it, right away!

Do you know, not all our students compete. While not all our students perform either and yet they all learn the same exact dance/technique and routine. We did it from over a decade just in DFW of North Texas ….and will continue to do so :). 

This is the magic of training…And that is why whether or not you compete, there is no difference in what we teach you or these learning skills! With us, under Hetal Nagaraj, you get a guarantee of technique focused & creativity with all that straight background that we speak of…..Your child or yourself will learn same exact steps in same number of classes, no matter what the level is. See for yourself on our Youtube. The videos are clipped from master recording files of entire recording of non-stop classes.

Competing in educational competitions exposes you to educational field and not to entertainment field. Both are different and so are the dances. The entire choreography changes & techniques are far off. You will know when you will do it separately. We have them both under us for seperate category of dance requirements and they all are seperate. They are like two parallel lines that will NEVER meet or agree to each other. And for sure, that is something not to be compared or discussed. You compare when they have something in common!

Only Best Part about all the educational field dancers is that they fit very well and succeed in entertainment world of their genres because of strong knowledge, techniques/originality in them and the process of the trainings that they go through comes with its pros that no education or experience will teach. While entertainment dancers find extremely difficult to fit in educational field and related state of affairs. It becomes difficult for them to understand concepts, techniques and choreography too. Either way, this is just our experience whenever we had choreographers from entertainment field or direct industry who do not know this process of education. While who are we to argue when it comes to parallel lines. Those who have never done it will not know it!

Call NOW…Learn your life skills from sportsmanship to leadership skills with us and let dance allow you to beat the crap out of everything. 972 979 2559 is the right number. Our owner Hetal Nagaraj ( www.hetaln.com ) has a certifications in those too other than her trainings of 35 years background in Indian and Non-Indian Performing Arts. For those who do not know, she was trained exclusively under her teachers’ complete trainings, internships, guidance, mentorship, amongst the most mature and strongest leaderships and was launched by one in 1999.

Do you know ? In order to at-least get 1 win for 1 genre, you have to submit at-least 1 student or group or for audition for at-least 1 dance in 1 category/genre ? Do the math, how many of our students must have submitted per competition & per genre to create a record of 10+ years of history in all genres with technique based non-voting educational competitions 🙂 .

This just tells how much we love what we do, how we succeed in all we do…and why! try it, you will achieve it too. #trainingsrequired
