- I WISH I WAS A DANCER || A beautiful little film about humans, told from the perspective of a dancer. A short contemporary dance film.
A film by Ella Rose Howlett
Starring Sara Ford & Gracie White
Many thanks to all who contributed towards the making of this film.
Had the idea after realising all humans have one thing in common - we all need progression, even if we might be the best in the world at something. So, with that, I decided telling the story from a dancer’s perspective was the right way to go.
This story was inspired by actual dancers, after interviewing each one and asking them about their dancing experience. Most of the narrative is actually what they said - I just picked out the best bits!
PLEASE Share! I’m actually super proud of this one!

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
I would love to show this to my dancers. I am a high school teacher here in California. At this challenging times right now, we need to motivate our students to keep dancing. Thank you this is very inspirational
Lilybeth Goldman Glad you liked it! I’d love for you to show it to your students 😊
@@lilybethgoldman3250 Came here to add that I am also showing it to my kiddos. They start remote learning today and miss the stage, but we're still dancing! Thanks @wiildblooms for the beautiful story.
Can we use the audio. Send me how I can make this work in your terms
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....
I wish i was dancer... But you know what? thats not a wish... Thats my dream! its gonna be true one day!
are you a dancer yet??? ❤️❤️
Yes.
❤❤❤❤❤
@@mikmikasakagurl8359 yes?
🥺
I wish I had supporting parents, after all those years you made me practice mom, when I finally fall in love with dance, you want me to be an engineer. Why?
Same story tho my mom joined me too dance classess since im a kid and now she won't let me chas my dreams im just 13 tho
My life story is also same but the twist is that my mom don't ask me to go to dance classes i fall in love with dance by my own
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!
What happened if Your mother don't want you to dance that is your life if your are a dance lover you keep going no one can stop you
@@cottagecore5142 literally i support you
I just cried- I'm guessing you can guess why since- it's 6am googling I wanna be a dancer at 24years old lol I loveeeeeee thisssss
Jinetlee Luciano I’m in the same page as you two years ago, how it’s going for you?
wanna know how did it go too
I actually wish that I can be a dancer , everyone discourages me that I should stop dancing and that I just stick to drawing what ever the heck I want. Thanks for this video though its really inspiring me to go on but I feel like giving up.
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.
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.
SAME omg
Don’t give up!!!
Im a dancer since I am two years old but luckily for you if you work hard you can learn fast
I've been dancing since when I was 3, I'm 14 now, and I absolutely feel and love this.
danya lee what’s it like? What’s it like to wake up in the morning knowing you have potential and you have been dancing ur whole life? What’s it like to be on ur age level for technique because I can’t relate. I started a year ago
Karina Breyer hi! i’m now sixteen! i feel like i don’t dance at my age level whatsoever so i feel you! i struggle with my flexibility every day because of my scoliosis! i honestly don’t think i have potential, but i have the passion. and the passion for dance is all you need to wake up every day and feel good enough:)
Me too I do bharatnatyam from India😻🖐
@@niimishaaa_ 👍👍👍👍
Everyone has an ability of dancing but we have to wake that ability
Beautiful, thank you! It definitely describes how I feel... I'm not a dancer. But.. I wish I was a dancer!
Of course I will share it...
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.
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’m literally sobbing and i’m only 30 seconds in. my biggest regret in life will always be quitting dance
Same
But you can still be a dancer there is no age of learning dance
@@kannuverma2132 i guess :( it's just harder to get good at it now and the older u get, the less time u have to pursue ur hobbies
Are we human, or are we dancer?
NOW you got that in my head ugh what have you done
My sign is vital, my hands are cold!
What ever you think kyuki tara bolna sa duniya ko ghanta farak nahi padta and don't say anything wrong about dance
Thank you so much for this opportunity I couldn't thank you enough I am so grateful to of contributed in this film x
You are so welcome buddy thanks for being in it! EVERYONE LOOK THIS IS GRACE - THE GIRL IN THIS FILM! X
You were brilliant Gracie! xx
Robin Howlett thank you xx
Great work ladies.
You were wonderful, Grace
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 💜
Thanks for making the inspiring and touching video !😢i wish i could be a dancer, for those who are still wishing to be a dancer , keep going!💗
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.
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
Really gorgeous! Lovely lighting on that young girl's strong arms. Lovely story, development. Lovely text, Ella, flowing with ideas. Who is that graceful and strong girl - that dancer? (Oh, I see in comments - the girl is Grace White! You are your name, Grace!)
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.
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.
All of this was bang on! Beautiful work Ella!
Cheers Ruaridh!
i weep as i watch this. Being a dancer i understand that feeling of always wanting it to be precise more, more perfect and even as a human being as one can never be satisfied with themselves. I felt so good after watching this :)
Things like these keep reminding me why i do what i do, Dance.
Brilliant, thought provoking too, took me back to being a kid and wanting to be all the things boys want to be, cowboy, soldier, stunt man (different era obvs), chef like my dad. Keep 'em coming, thank you.
I am a dancer and i have been for 9 years and i have never regeted going to dance class. It's my second home.
Wow nice story and beautifull cinematography!
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.
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 - ...
what useful do we do as dancers ? I too want to be a dancer and i am searching for an answer for this...
@@vnz8164 we create art and real talent. We express our emotions and choreographed dances we like.
It's so sensitive and heart-fulfilling film... Feels like these words we written from heart to heart... From human with the dream within to human with the dream within... I am more than grateful. I watched it few times and rewrote the words from film into my notebook. Thank you for this soul-touching inspiration
I dance since im 4. Im happy that my family and friends support me! I’ll never give up
This made me cry I love dance I alway find dances on CZcams and teach myself tutorials. I tell my parents I want to dance but they don’t invest in it. I show them studios that have reasonable prices for classes n they say ok but they make no effort to let me dance so when I see stuff like this I alway break down cause I can’t help but think how good of a dancer I could be if I would get the proper training😔🙄
Man same ur not alone, please don't give up,my parents are obsessed with getting good grades and they dojt care about my interest but we gotta go for our drewms,u and me
Same😭😭😭😭
My story is also like this but if you have the passion to dance you don't need dance classes
For me it's just that it's too expensive for me and I'll have to wait a little bit to get back to dance (I've danced for a year and quit) so Im seeing more progress at home then at the studio. So my only advice is to practice more at home and show them that you can actually become a great dancer.
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.
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
Im crying right now... This broke me. Thank you for this
Dancing is my life i can't live without dancing it is my passion i want to become a dancer and my family won't agree with it but I will make my dream real one day leaving all the stereotype behind i will become a dancer one day
Very nice film. The shots are beautiful and very nicely thought through. I love it.
It's cool how simular both look like. Great Work Ella, keep it up!
I love dancing since when I was little but I scared of bullying and my eye problem but I love dancing since when I was little and I fight for my dream and my family not supporting me I always get cry by myself I always think how to achieve this dream 😭
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 that feeling when dancing is unexplainable !
It's just a reminder that everyone can dance, as we try harder,as we put more efforts and love dancing the more we succeeded.♥️💚
Hey! I really love this video and music. It inspires me so much and I would love to dance to it but do you have any version of it without the music in the background? I would love to hear it. Congratulations on the video. Kisses
When I was around 7 my parents were forcing me join the dance classes but I was not interested in that time so my parents decided to not to force me so I stop going to dance classes. But I am regreting now cause I am not good at school and sports or any other activities my parents and teachers says that I am useless, I am not good enough, and I am not making them proud I started to get depressed. then I realised that dancing makes me happy so I started to convince my parents to let me join the dancing classes but they are not allowing me they told me to force on my studys.
I'm 17 yrs old and I love dancing. I don't even have any restrictions from my family but the thing is. I wanna improve my dancing. I wish I could really dance instead of just moving
Brilliant, beautiful and moving... kept me captivated and wow I can relate to those words and feelings... great film, dear.
Get up, feel the music, let your body respond. There. You are a dancer.
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.
This is so beautiful!!!!
If we’re aloud, my friend and I would like to use this to dance in a school dance competition! I hope that would be ok with you!
I've got chills! So good!!
I wish i was a dancer... I started dancing 7 years ago but my 2th teacher is making me feel like i'm not. And yeah i think its true 😔
You're a dancer❤
@@aj-ut6po ❤
Everyone has an ability of dancing just we have to wake that ability up you are a dancer you can become a dancer just keep going
I wish i was a dancer.... but i know that i could dance... i can. Dancing makes me happy... it reminds me to be myself. Dancing means a lot to me. When i was little, my biggest dream is to become a ballerina.... even though it's impossible, i'm still hoping that i could reach it. Dancing makes me feel that i'm free. I am a dancer.
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.
Bravo! Beautiful!
I loved that and it made me remember how and why i fell in love with dancing
That was soo cool . I appreciate 💐
Aboslutely love this
They're both amazing dancers!! And the person who made the video? WOW... Also, it goes brilliantly with Lauren Diagle's You Say as background song, too. It was a lot of fun to watch on mute with the song in the background. My new favorite thing.
They are marvellous!! The images and mostly the poem! ❤️❤️❤️
Dancing saved me
Thank you so much for presenting this beautiful and very inspiring short video. 🥰. It really made me feel more positive and motivated. Although it was short to explain deeply about Dance. I just felt many things ,, Coz my feelings for dancing is very special although I'm just a struggling dancer.. Dancing is passion . 🥰
Now this is art
I subscribed a few years back because of your longboard videos.. But this gave me goose bumps :D Love it! Cheers from sweden
Not today not tomorrow but one day i will make my all dreams come true
Dancing was always my passion I joined the ballerina group which made me Abit flexible but sadly i quited cuz it wasn't the right time for me now I wanna become a hip hop dancer but I am the worst at dancing but you know what im proud of myself still cause it's my dream and I would make it come true hwaiting!

Te has ganado el like.
Magnífico video!!!
I love this.
'good evening,Ella Rose Howlett;I wish I was a dancer too!!!all the best and success'.''mantrix''.
Wow, so great. I am a professional dancer and I loved it.
Loved it! Well done!
Motivated mindset dancers
I'm dreaming of becoming a dancer but i haven't had an experience in dancing and i'm not sure if i still have a tine or not cause i'm almost turn to 20..next year
That s exactly what I feel
im a dancer and im dancing since i was a little (i think 4 or 5 years old and i'm 15 years old now) but different style but i wanna try jazz and contemporary and i'm not flexible because u know i dance but different style is it going to be hard or easy for me to start dancing to jazz and contemporary?
I’m 18 I’m not flexible at all but I want to be a dancer so bad I fear it’s too late. I have 9 months left of school before I pick my career/ college. I want to go to dance college but I’m afraid it’s a pipe dream for me and I’m not good enough to go
Same but I'm 15 all girls in my age started dancing at small age except me
Well done ...love the script and the awesome lighting..
Beautiful, beautiful.
Wow!!!...😮
Very beautifully created
this is so moving!
Corona really sucked the motivation out of me. This helped a lot
I love this!
Perfection :) Well done Ella x x
Danke bae
Wow 😍😍
love it !!
I’m 16 and since I could remember I always wanted to take dance classes...singe I was single digits that’s all I wanted but to this day it hasn’t happened and it honestly sucks :(
I'm pretty sure Kyle Hanagami only started dancing at around 17, showing us it CAN be done, you can start late and still thrive if you put your all into it
Hermosisima
Beautiful
Love it :)
I wish I was a good dancer :-,)
I can make it I really want to be a dancer and I will never give up
You dont know how it feels how u try one after one and still cant get it

It's also my dream to become a dancer what's the problem is I am fat and I will try my best
