I Wish I Was A Dancer | dance motivation short film

[@wiildblooms]

BIG THANKS FOR THE LOVE! I'm sorry to be a party-pooper, but I'm just posting here because I've had quite a few problems with copyright and people using parts of this film... So much work went into this, and it kills me when I see people use my track or footage without asking, telling me or even crediting me. It's a bit upsetting because I'm so proud of this film. The music and narrative: I don't mind you using the audio or the dialogue for dancing, but please ask me, send me the film if you upload it, and credit the original video! I love to see people using this for inspiration, just please tell people where you found it! The footage and visuals: They're strictly not to be used anywhere else - I really want to try and keep them to this film, and this film alone. All you guys watching are amazing - keep dancing ya'll x

Dear Wildblooms, this is such a beautiful film. Thanks for sharing your gifts and talent in such a powerful way. I'm leading a 1-day fundraising masterclass to arts and cultural organizations in five Australian capital cities this month. May I show this film with full credits/attribution? I think it will inspire them to find purpose in their fundraising for the arts - to help more little girls (and boys) fulfill their dreams of becoming dancers, artists, film-makers, musicians....

[@adhya3114]

Please do what you wanna do and love to do! I'm learning dance and am an aspiring artist... Dance and drawing are actually kinda similar to each other, in dance the stage becomes your canvas and you become the brush. Please please please start dancing if that's what you wanna do.

[@ashley-has-games9811]

Don't let the decided that for you. I'm a dancer and have been for 7 years. I'm still learning but once you get into the dance community it might be akward at first but it's a loving and funny community. Of course you will have moments when you don't want to go anymore but then what? Don't let your dreams be dreams. Join a studio (If you haven't already) As one as my teachers used to say "Dancers don't need wings to fly. Even if our wings are broken we will fly again" You've got this.

[@fangshii1182]

Thank you so much for this videoo!! 💜💜 I wished I was a dancer, i told myself this back when i was 4 or 5 when i got put into the quior rather than the dance team in school. And though i later grew on to love singing and music, i got into traditional dancing when i was 8 and had anxiety so i couldn't really show much without fearing the people around me would judge. I then fell in love with dance again in a more beautiful way when i was 13 but i wasn't good at it and i felt like i was too old to start again.. Here I am now though 14 turning 15 still practicing and try to improve. I clicked on this video looking for motivation and i found it. Well I don't really know why im writing this but i hope it can serve as reminder to anyone who read this to not give up no matter your age and keep going as a dancer. Thank you for anyone who read all this. Let's all try to keep going.. dancers 💜

My life story is same too..my mom and dad made me join the dance class but after some years I left that dance class because of my studies then now I really want to be a freestyle dancers but my parents are not supporting me and saying dance is useless..but I really love dance now. I was really frustrated days ago but now I have already decided that once I have already dreamt about it I will fulfill it! No matter if no one is supporting me. My parents have to understand that I also got one life and I have the right to fulfill my wish! I don't want to hurt my parents so I am just working hard in silence and I will expose it when I succeed!! So, just keep going and chase the dream if you have once dreamt about it!

I absolutely love dance, especially ballet, but I love all forms of dance. I figure it out until late. I didn’t say anything because I figured it was too late, but it turns out ballet wasn’t just something I could forget. I’ve taken some class and it’s hard. It’s really hard. But I love it so much. Watching the dancers en pointe glide across the stage, it’s magic. There’s nothing like it. I wish I was a dancer.

[@howardcollado1496]

I can't tell you how profoundly beautiful and inspiring this film is, on so many levels not just as an artist, but simply as a human, and how it captures so much of the human struggle of perfection and then letting go of that need so we can be truly free unto oneself. I showed this film to one of my Physical Theatre class's i teach for middle school and had many of the teachers in tears. Thank you.

[@heathersyeah.3053]

I love this!! It’s an amazing video showing growth and hard that is put into dancing. I am a dancer and I appreciate this. Also I see a lot of comment about wanting to be a dancer and all I can say if you put your time, energy, and heart into dance. And most importantly try you best. You can become one.

[@dizzy0114]

I’ve been dancing since I was 2n(I’m 12), it’s 11pm and al I can think of is all my successful friends from dance who have placed 1’st in the country and 3’rd and second and then there’s me, I’ve only been in the finales once and I’ve never placed. I’m watching this whilst stretching and breathing deep breaths, I wish I was a GOOD dancer and this just motivates me.

[@nastber]

Hey, so I usually don't comment on youtube, but I felt like saying this: I used to be a rhythmic gymnast, so believe me I know what it feels like to suck at competitions. I think I could've gotten really good, but I just didn't love it, and it showed. Then I switched to contemporary dancing at age 17 (!) and trying to go pro now. So one of the reasons why I fell in love with dancing instantly is that it's an ART, not a sport. Sure it's important to get strong, flexible, develop a good technique etc etc - to develop a vocabulary, so to say. Ultimately what matters is that you learn to express yourself in the language you are most passionate about. It's all about the passion, which you clearly have and the expression of feelings in your dancing. Only having good technique makes you a good mover, not a dancer. So hold on to that passion. Try to get better, yes, but do so with the thought of becoming the best possible dancer YOU can become and don't compare yourself with others too much. It's shit to feel jealous and it just makes you frustrated. Some of these feelings can surely be productive, but don't let them take over you. Obviously I don't know anything about your life or how your dance community works, but I would consider putting more energy in developing your creative voice - taking part in projects, dance pieces, trying out different dance styles, going to the theater.. than taking part in competitions, because this is what will make you stand out later. And lastly, try to find good teachers and friends who support you You are so young and have so much potential... Never stop dreaming

[@ajkodzz5022]

Man I’m out here living in the projects. A busy mom that can’t afford to put me in dance classes. Friends and relatives that say I can’t get there. Man I have people I’m trash. This shits annoying man. The way people stay wanting to put you down. Crazy.

[@leyna-rc5mr]

Oh, can kinda relate to that. But I think they are saying that becuz they can't do it. Are they you? Are they living in your mind? Probably not, so they won't know how far you can get. What I am saying is, please don't let them or anything stop you if it comes to your passion. You wouldn't want to regret this opportunity on your death bed, right?

I did ballet from when I was around 6-10 years old I’m now 13 and I wish I carried on dancing my nana told me last night that my dance teacher thought I was going to be a ballerina and I was good at ballet and when I went to my room at night I cried because I wish I never quit. I could join a ballet school now but everyone will have more experience than me and I don’t feel like I would fit in.

[@hannah-wx3kn]

Hey millie, I only started dancing when I was 11 with no previous dancing experience, I am now 13 and I am already en pointe, with hardwork you can do anything, I believe in you but you have to start again because if you dont even go to that class then you dont have a chance, just give it a try and if you really have a passion for it then you'll never stop

[@Idkwhattosay892]

You can still dance on your own, I know it seems hard but it's not. You can watch a lot of ballerinas performances (without point shoes cause they're dangerous for self taught dancers) and just get inspired by them. No matter how much it takes, you can still do it. Put some music on and imagine yourself dancing on a stage, you can still be a dancer no matter what.

When ever I say that I want to become a dance but everybody laugh at me saying dancer......they are useless....how you will earn money if you be a dancer....after hearing these things I have stopped saying everyone that I want to be a dancer I just keep it in my mind and try my best.... hoping that I day I can show this whole world and say that I am a dancer ...but there is only one person who supports me that is my mother...even she had face such a problem and she can't fullfil her dreams..so she doesn't want that the same things happen with me.i just want to say.. don't kill your dreams do want you want to do and show this World .i hope that one day I will change this mentality of people that "Dancer they are useless"..... dance is my passion but now it is a part of my life - ...

Remember ABCD Any Body Can Dance Fuc/ everything and everyone. Just dance your heart out. Believe me it's the best feeling. I myself am a dancer but not that great. I don't have any confidence because people have always degraded me for dancing. 2 years back I was at that point that I was literally going to end my "dancing dream". But I said No, this is not it. Nobody can stop me. Maybe I am not perfect but you know what "Practice makes a man perfect". I practice everyday not to show anyone that I can dance but for me. For me Dance is my God and Dancing is my way of Praying. I will die without dancing. And this video made my heart bleed. I am seriously crying in a very ugly way. Haha I am sorry.
