Dancing in Water (Serbo-Croatian: Bal na vodi, Бал на води) is a 1986 Yugoslavian romantic-drama film directed by Jovan Aćin.

The death of the one-time coxswain of a Serbian rowing crew precipitates their reunion at her funeral.

Flashbacks return us to those days where they forged enduring friendships against the backdrop of the struggle between Communist and American ideals in Tito's Yugoslavia.

The "four" are fascinated by American music and styles, while their rival rowing team is led by a competitor for Esther's affections, a rising member in the Communist elite who bears tattoos of Stalin and Lenin on his wrists.

Evidently part of the story is based on the life of Radomir Perica [sr], who was jailed for flaunting a Mickey Mouse tattoo during the period of the film.
