The Waterdance is a 1992 American drama film written by Neal Jimenez and directed by Jimenez and Michael Steinberg. It stars Eric Stoltz, Wesley Snipes, William Forsythe and Helen Hunt.
The film is a semi-autobiographical story about a young writer who becomes paralyzed in a hiking accident and works to rehabilitate his body and mind at a rehabilitation center. The title refers to a dream recounted by Raymond, the Snipes character, about dancing on the surface of a lake. Since, in Raymond's dream, he must continue dancing on the lake or sink and drown, the dream may be a metaphorical reference to the necessity of continually coping with the world.
