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

G2 Dance Factory, Arlington Performing Arts Graduates.

G2 Dance Factory, Arlington-Texas – Graduates of Performing Arts : Jan 2021 to March 31, 2023.

Brand kept on-hold at Arlington location due to owner’s (Hetal Nagaraj, Hetal Joshi M) personal goals vs time + huge fraud experience/mess. About Ms. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj : www.hetaln.com.

About G2 Dance Factory’s history. It is our sister-brand from & by our award winning dance company/registered-group/teams to train individuals for high budget performing arts, also provide regular dance lessons and was established by Hetal Joshi Nagaraj for her first line of Elites in 2012-2013 in multiple genres in Irving & Carrollton-Coppell areas of Texas, USA in multiple genres : Grace Creations Fusion Dance Company. In 2021, G2 dance factory papers were approved and entire studio was remodelled with custom floors, by the settys and Hetal Joshi Nagaraj with certified contractors. Several floor testing was done by our elites such as Ms. Aahana, The Settys and other local dance friends of Ms. Hetal Joshi M who visited G2, at every layer of floor and we all wanted the high speed and safe floors to be flawless for shoots/stunts/stills/competitions.

Ms. Hetal specializes in re-modeling and construction through her networks and her own “direct” experience in remodeling and construction from scratch for 5 projects(India and USA with min 1 crore INR to 750K US$). This includes her own house in USA that she has fully customized just the way she wanted with builders. Some of blue-prints has Ms. Hetal’s name on it as designer 🙂

Justin Yoon : grads with Ms. Hetal – listed here. Justin was never available at g2 location in person because he moved to other state by the time g2 city-permits were received to conduct any activities.

Since most/almost all of our 2021 classes were still going online or hybrid for the entire year of 2021 until Oct 2021, Justin assisted by curriculam in hiphop classes of Ms. Hetal’s own batch as per his timezone-availability at Lewisville location(-in person at lewisville & online for the others b’coz of hybrid). All students performed at their levels in August 2021 mega show of 3 productions + outdoor shoots and outdoor productions in one day introducing G2 dance factory.

Ms. Hetal broke all records of 3 stage-shows in one day with her own exclusive students + her elites’ first batches – Ms. Ashna & The Settys (Nirja Setty & Samarth Setty) + Outdoor shoots + Outdoor productions by genre + Several Elites graduated by location, by genre and by program too + her other choreographers’ contributed batches(Ms. hetal is now a grandma) that usually perform in Ms. Hetal’s shows!

G2 first line of staff was hired early despite instructions to Ms. Taylor(first manager of g2) about city permits and previous tenant pending permits to city which delayed the remodling/flooring. From all the staff hired, we could only use Justin as hiphop and contemporary batches were in-session under Ms. Hetal and so he was assigned as per his timezone-availability-1 to 2 batches. Ms. Taylor was asked to take one but she did not have any experience teaching teens so we waited to assign any batch. The other hiphop and contemporary students choosed to stay with Ms. Hetal as most dances were about to be done and camps were in person with Ms. Hetal at Lewisville & Frisco FM423 with strict instructions of “in=person class” only. Infact, by the time we received permits to run the business or to remodel the place, the entire first hire of staff had either moved to other cities or we had to let them go because of “early hire and zero work”. Ms. Hetal’s students refused to leave Ms. Hetal or take any online class for any of the specialities from anybody.

Justin was moved to G1 from the time he was hired. Justin was fully experienced with technicalities of hiphop by level and in his specialities dealing with kids & teens of all ages. Ms. Hetal takes his paid-choreo work for hiphop for the students that were trained under both since several students of Ms. Hetal and G1(grace and grooves – hiphop, bollywood-hiphop, broadway styles) did the drop-in classes with him-online side by side with Ms. Hetal. Few students of Ms. Hetal & Justin (taught by both during 2021) were selected to compete in his state (where he moved) as well for a national level competition in multiple genres. so, if they were to visit for competition in person in Dec 2021, Justin was assigned to give them competition preps and routines as per the plans-locally!

Either way by the end of Nov 30th, 2021 our students decided not to go for nationals to his state because of personal trips/travels during December 2021 that was overdue because of pandemic lockdowns. Justin is since then the part of G1 group for any freelance work that may be assigned for his specialities.

2nd line of staff was hired from 2022 by Ms. Hetal Joshi M, Hetal Nagaraj right after Ms. Taylor moved. Ms. Taylor did everything that was assigned to her in her committed hours. Ms. Taylor couldn’t handle G1 brands as it was out of her understanding and so we didn’t have any work. By then, Ms. Taylor had moved too :). Website design of g2dancefactory was Ms. Taylor work inspired from her own peers site and it was made by interns & grads of Hetal Joshi M – IT speciality under Ms. Hetal’s leadership. From 2022, all online classes were moved to in-person except for a few with ms. Hetal. For example : a few of her students bought new house in some other city and didn’t want to leave their batch mates and their trainings are almost done!

We will post all our videos too sometimes later! Because, why not :). It is worth seeing !! 😀. You all should see it!

Administrative Grads : Listed Here.

Biggest Fraud in the history of company Saumya Bhardwaj Kaur ( we give credits for everything because why not 🙂 : 30,000$ as of Feb 2023 + 8 months of total mess (it is April 2023 and we are still re-doing entire 8months of all the work assigned to her). That’s 16 months of delays in everything and for each project assinged to Ms. Saumya. Fraud damages in $$ still under calculation.

About this individual’s horrifying experience of parents(as per their texts) and company’s staff

Proceedings will occur once we are done accessing the total $ damages. Everyday something is surfacing.

Daksha M Joshi : Hetal’s Guru & Family-Inspiration

When your family, environment & history itself has taught you so much, why will you look around for inspiration! Know the main inspiration | guru(s) of our Artistic Director Hetal Nagaraj | http://www.hetaln.com.

Lt. Daksha Joshi, Hetal’s mom, was first class mumbai university graduate in fine arts with psychology and dance with English, Marathi & Sanskrit as her languages. She was main inspiration behind Hetal’s entire performing arts journey. Ms. Daksha was well accomplished paid artist herself and she led/taught/planned shows as part of library educational programs, govt. programs in association with schools, kerala samaj, gujarati samaj and various local organizations by contract in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.

Ms Daksha was known for her fun pupperty shows, gem-diamond studded paintings by order and shadow dance-dramas, dance dramas with full dance routines, by genre. Her specializations in her degrees & programs included folk dances, theater and dramas, bollywood industry knowledge, theater-drama sets for commercial purposes, puppet/mask making sets that Hetal continues to teach/offer. Classical dances had specialities of Sadir/Sathir(Pre-Kalakshetra Bharatanatyam) and Kuddiyattam.

Hetal’s maternal environment are all about performing/fine/music/model, beauty, fashion, salon & artistic activites esp women. They are 3rd genreations of Maharashtrians with full influences of Bollywood industries. Ms. Daksha has also spent few years in Secundrabad and vicinity of hyderabad where she came across several tollywood industry artists as well. Hetal’s grandfather was an engineer & scholar but was also a carnatic and hindustani singer and used to participate in local events for fun. Hetal’s brother was in drama until middle school & was school cartoonist;winning him The Times of India Awards-Twice for children activites. yet throughout the high school grades in science stream, he was a state level ranker(1st 10 in entire state). By 12th grade, he was an IT-STEM geek. He scored part-sponsored scholarships in Engineering & IT degree programs via student-transfer programs in USA universities. His achievements won him iEEE bootcamps at IIT campus & he then tried IIT exam-preps. He couldn’t make it to IIT for 1 mark & so he continued his journey with scored scholarships; leaving performing arts there itself and moved to USA.

Hetal’s cousins have their institutes in their countries w/their guru(s) & have specialities in min 2 dance forms, for fun and yet all are engineers, IT-nerds or have successful businesses! Some are PHD(s) in dance/music and they take short term projects. Inspite of all this, they all have other mainstream education with minimum 2 degrees. All of performing arts, fine arts is carried in family with an established guru-shishya parampara/trainings either from parents or with a formal guru seperate from family. Hetal is herself 4th generation performing arts & 2nd generation of paid artist!

While her paternal history speaks of women in commercial activities, accounts & finance scholars, teaching/education-mainstream, some are very independent and have established activity centers of their own or have business & management. Her family members are often hired in govt. securities or high profile sensitive fields because of their straight/transparent or traceable background. Her dad is accounts & management major w/finance & tax as his specialty. He was a former elite officer in govt & worked for several private companies with his remarkable achievements.

The craze to achieve transparency started during their grandparents’ time. Learning performing arts activities is a norm in her family as you would drink water. All of them are respected veterans/samartians with extra-ordinary achivements in their careers.

Hetal’s environment is always surrounded by all of these activities, subject matter, education & thus the independence. | http://www.hetaln.com.

Pictures and video clips of her guru’s history are very much available & will be posted soon 🙂

Reasons Why We Have Graduates By Genres & Course Packages too!

Reasons Why We Have Graduates By Genres ?

  • Dances are so much fun even within the dance form that students love it until they achieve epitome or mastery over it. After that, they continue with their further journey.
  • Dances are so creative that they love to not only perform but they love to get into internships because of the way they are lead to simple steps of success. Why burn out – when you don’t have to!
  • Dance have so much to offer for techniques, variety and beautiful environment that they learn, grow and achieve by their simple once a week or twice or thrice a week participation.
  • Results, Results & Results !!!! Yep – That is why. Even once a week class has results here and so does our recreational classes.
  • Growth in performing arts that they can control and still be at the peak. To beat these graduates, others will burn out to be there!
  • Value of training with full transparency and background : Education at right places provides you with example of mistakes/pros/cons that in past several people have made in industry. Why do you want to experiment and repeat same mistakes again ?
  • Transparency and Straight background of knowledge source : From where the knowledge comes, it matters. There is science behind every single technique, why, why not and the best way to go through that – take knowledge from right sources. With transparency of straight background, your work actually reduces to half while teaching! Thus, results.
  • Economic and Resonable : Dances that anybody can afford and still earn later from it! Hetal Nagaraj has so many programs and packages for everybody that no student is left out. It is the best place for dancers who want to do – something extra and at no extra price.

  • It is how you do – matters than what more you did : It is not about trying to fit in every showmanship that you know in one dance but it is about what matters with simple guidelines. Sometimes there is a thin line that – it is not required to do that when there is better way to do it – without burning out. How beautifully you do matters most in this because there are no shortcuts to anything that requires the grooming with training.
  • Practice : Practice not because you have to but because you are NOW ready for it. See Ms. Hetal’s interview on performing arts challenges outside India : Click Here.
  • Fundamentals : Fundamentals by genre never go out of fashion! They are fundamentals. Rules by genre do not change. There are slight variations to it but otherwise they do not change.

  • Balance : There is a wonderful strike of balance, precision, knowledge, trend, fashion, innovation, creativity and not to mention unlimited use of fundamentals and rules. Be it by form, by style, by event or by competition inside the form/outside the form.

Time is money and it is worth it at the places where they have success streak of graduates because of the knowledge+craftmanship+fun. Just like that you don’t get that. Work for it, we have graduates because everything that happens here-changes people to something very beautiful and very handsome with right attitude and knowledge. Thus, Success is yours to keep too!

Pror to 2012 –

Ms. Hetal’s Journey in Performing Arts Before 2004 and Her U.S. Establishment

The journey of Ms. Hetal in the performing arts is a testament to a life long passion, value of life, value of time, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to cultural education. With roots deeply grounded in classical and folk traditions, her career began long before her emergence on the American stage.

1993 – 1994 – 1995 – Gujarat, India.

Ms. Hetal was officially introduced as a commercial educational artist in drama between 1993 and 1995. During this period, she entered into a series of contractual programs(seeding projects, one after other – fulfillment of prior projects as requirement, yearly) that showcased a comprehensive repertoire of performances, spanning a range of dance genres.

These early endeavors marked her formal entry into the professional performing arts landscape, laying the foundation for a distinguished career.

1998 – 1999 – Gujarat, India.

By 1999, Ms. Hetal had already begun to make her mark as an Educator. Under the independent mentorship of her guru(s) and PR teams in Mumbai & Hyderabad, she graduated her first cohort of students in India in the classical art form of Bharatanatyam and in a variety of Indian folk dances. This milestone reflected not only her mastery of these traditions but also her growing influence as a teacher and mentor.

Some other relevant links of activities and pictures in details

1998-1999 – Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi – India.

Entered freelance choreography programs as well other than regular programs.

Link of one of the blog post.

2003 – 2004 – USA – Michigan, Dallas Fortworth.

In 2003, a new chapter began with her marriage, followed by her relocation to the United States in 2004.

Rather than pausing her artistic pursuits, Ms. Hetal embraced the transition as an opportunity to relaunch her side hustle career in a new cultural landscape. Ms. Hetal began performing solo, participating in competitions, and engaging in various artistic collaborations—all through her own self-established public relations (PR) company. This venture allowed her to manage and promote her work independently, building a strong personal brand within the diaspora community.

From 2004 to 2006 – Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Dallas & Fortworth  | 2005 – 2010 – Dallas, Fortworth, Texas, USA

Ms. Hetal worked independently, earning recognition for her dynamic solo initiatives and unwavering dedication to the performing arts. Her growing schedule and consistent presence in the community eventually created the foundation for something more formal.

2010-2012 – Dallas Fortworth Metroplex, California, USA

In 2011, she transitioned from independent work to a structured model of arts education by founding her own company in the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW), Texas area. This marked the beginning of an era characterized by systematic instruction, cultural preservation, and innovative programming in Indian classical and folk dance education.

Ms. Hetal’s journey—rooted in tradition and adapted with innovation—continues to inspire both artists and audiences across continents.

How company name was suddenly announced.

Group Names Used Before 2011-2012 for Indian Dance Performances:
Dallas Sitare, Dallas Dance, Irving Gals, Dallas Dancers, Desi Dancers, Naach, Dallas Boys, Desi Beats, Nach Le, Dallas Desi, Groovy Boys, Graceful Girls, Dallas Stars, Irving Boys, and others.

At times, no names were used when not required. Ms. Hetal always performed under her name as choreographer or submission. (Updated March 17, 2018) | See our collaborations here.

More About Our History : Several Blog Posts..

2012 : Grace And Grooves LLC was established and registered in State of Texas by Hetal Nagaraj.

Programs and Clientele Overview:

  • Indian Folk Dances and Bharatnatyam were the primary programs offered.
  • Private group sessions, including Couple Dances, Therapy Dance Lessons for Couples, Marriage Parties, Mehndi Nights, Birthday Parties, Sweet 16 Parties, and Bollywood Fusion with Classical Dances, have been ongoing since 1999 under the guidance of Hetal.
  • The majority of clients were Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) legally settled in the Dallas Metroplex area, including participants from Vidya Vikas Hindu Temple classes, Northlake College, and other local colleges. A smaller portion of the clientele included Non-Indians, such as Mexican, Italian, and African-American participants, as well as students from various religious backgrounds seeking guidance on dance dramas incorporating Indian dances, similar to Hetal Nagaraj’s training.
  • Over 50 students of all ages, ranging from 5 years old to teenagers and young adults, were registered in these programs.

2013 : Grace Creations performing team was formed

Grace Creations Program Overview

  • The Grace Creations performing team was established to foster the fusion of various Indian and Non-Indian dance forms and styles. It was designed for experienced and trained dancers seeking to elevate their creativity and perform regularly.
  • All students were trained exclusively in their respective dance forms and styles, with artist collaborations forming a core part of the program. [Click Here]
  • Bollywood classes were offered to private groups and friends, specifically targeting select performances or competitions. Student enrollment for these classes was structured as group sign-ups.
  • Pre-Elementary Bharatnatyam classes were introduced in Irving, Coppell, Keller, and Southlake, Texas, and were exclusively taught by Hetal.
  • Approximately 15 students were registered for the exclusive Grace Creations program, having been trained in various Non-Indian performing arts through dance institutes and schools. Some students had also earned school credits in their Independent School District (ISD) programs in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Hip-hop, Contemporary, Theater, and Lyrical dance.
  • Other participants included Bharatnatyam students from different styles, Kathak dancers, and Odissi dancers, along with those trained directly by Hetal

What inspired to create these fusions ? Her own daughter’s experiences in non-indian dances.

Background and Formation of Grace Creations and G2 Dance Factory

Ms. Hetal’s daughter received five years of formal training in institutional, educational, and non-commercial dance schools in Tap, Jazz, and Ballet as a pre-competitive and competitive dancer at the city and state levels before transitioning to Indian dances and recreational Hip-hop training.

Her daughter’s decision to leave non-Indian dance forms stemmed from feeling isolated as the only Indian participant when advancing to higher levels. Consequently, she discontinued her training in non-Indian dance forms in 2011 and shifted to Indian dances. Despite this transition, she maintained strong friendships and continued collaborative training in non-Indian performing arts from 2011 onwards, ensuring a positive and safe environment.

Following this experience, in 2011 and 2021, Ms. Hetal encountered several other parents whose children faced similar challenges. This led to the formation of Grace Creations in 2013, inspired by Ms. Hetal’s deep-rooted background and the positive, supportive relationships she had built. Grace Creations was established as a hybrid platform, integrating Indian and non-Indian dance forms.

Subsequently, G2 Dance Factory emerged as an advanced extension of Grace Creations. It was established as a separate brand focused on commercial, professional, and educational governance.

These developments significantly enhanced Ms. Hetal’s existing institutional knowledge and expertise, which she had gained through training with her teachers in India. Her extensive experience working with institutional performing arts schools and choreographers in non-Indian dance forms in the USA provided her with valuable insights. Diversity has consistently been a part of Ms. Hetal’s life since her school and college days, reinforcing her ability to create inclusive and enriching dance programs.

[Read below for the rest of the story and 2020 accomplishments.] 

2014 : Bharatnatyam was introduced with structured curriculum.

  • Lot of our other developments : Check here.

Year 2021 –

The first order of Retail was delivered in Jan 2021 (just after the pandemic lockdown) & before the G2 brand initiation for lease in Arlington. Based on this, in 2021 August, Grace Creations Retail infrastructure was designed, planned and implemented exclusively by Hetal to cater to custom request of retail sales for local dancers for smaller orders.(Less than 15-20 costumes), this included G2. 

2021-2022 –

G2 dance factory was registered under Grace And Grooves under Hetal Nagaraj / Hetal M Joshi exclusively. G2 story.

Ms. Hetal faced a multi-million$ fraud from a newly hired volunteer scholar program individual other than the forced inducement by the property manager and vp’s decision for g2 commencement of lease without permission which was just before the newly hired volunteer fraud. This is other than the online financial fraud that occured on our online systems.

The collective fraud and online fraud resulted in huge mess that jammed our online systems “entirely” and several other backlogs everywhere. Individual Saumya was fired the moment everything was caught. 

2022 –

  • Texas All Star Programs was / is paused until further notice.
  • Reachh Mediaa Artist Management Program is only for own graduates.

August 2022 –

Audition Programs Launch for Sponsored & Performing Programs.

  • Page was however created in 2025 as the program was stalled in 2022 right after Bhoomi Trivedi’s Sponsored Program of Hetal Nagaraj.
  • Program was stalled because of massive fraud of 2021-2022 & Ms. Hetal had to put off everything to handle issues.
  • Link of this program.

2023  –

G2 dance factory plugs were pulled out because of massive damages which resulted in lawsuit which could have avoided if property manager would have coordinated well and if the fraud did not occur. The company lost several clients which were bagged for that location back to back for straight 8-9,months, as a huge pipeline of shoots and scheduled workshops due to sheer negligence of incompetant property manager and during that time as well, the commencement date was not discussed upon and for rather forced without prior notice which resulted in other unprepared issues. 

Further more, company saw what it did not see in place like india in 27 years of Ms. Hetal’s own business & 39 years of life such as theft, contract forgery, mess in online systems resulting in jammed systems, mess in stock/inventory registry, chaos, mess in subscriptions, confusions, complaints from venues handled by saumya, deliberate effort to harm Elites by ruining their projects, complaints on code of conduct, slum area behavior of certain parents that was led by saumya and endless police complaints pointing to just one person – saumya and eventually Nritya/Pratap. 

All systems of Grace And Grooves run on icloud based applications & portals. We take regular backups of everything from gadgets, gears and company laptops to online activities. Retreiving data was matter of time by dates of backups and was tedious or time consuming and was thus, traceable in 2024! Appropriate steps are taken on this.

Several locations of Ms. Hetal and several other artist’s lives were impacted because of this fraud and delays of g2 which resulted in catastrophic damages in other locations as well because of backlog.

When it comes to Ms. Hetal, YES, you are allowed to dream BIG! That is ms. hetal’s strength and capacity. Company runs on Ms. Hetal exclusively other than all the other activities. 

This resulted to complete freeze in hiring and a pause until further notice on Texas All Star Programs, 501 3 c programs.

Year 2024 –

ALL locations were minimized to several operations and activities so that Ms. hetal can focus on clearing all the backlog which further impacted Ms. hetals’ personal life as well and that resulted to several backlogs of several pending family work in personal life. Only Ms. Hetal knows this because this entire build of infrastructure is mastermind of Ms. Hetal. The system backlog took longest time because of integrations to several portals and sensitive information of passwords and phone number to each!
