- The Water Dance, also known as the Bravo's Dance, is a swordfighting style practiced by bravos, the swordfighters of the Free City of Braavos. Syrio Forel, former First Sword to the Sealord of Braavos, is a master of the Water Dance. Much like water, the "Water Dance" stresses fluid motion, quickly advancing to attack or withdrawing to defend. Water Dancers employ a sideways stand, which provides the rival with a smaller target, with the weapon arm extended in diagonal and the opposite forearm behind the small of the back.

| abstract | - The Water Dance, also known as the Bravo's Dance, is a swordfighting style practiced by bravos, the swordfighters of the Free City of Braavos. Syrio Forel, former First Sword to the Sealord of Braavos, is a master of the Water Dance. Unlike the fighting style of Westerosi knights, Water Dancers favor slender, lighter swords for a faster, more elegant fighting style based on sword thrusts, instead of the hacking and slashing of heavy longswords and greatswords. A tradeoff is that practitioners do not wear heavy armor, sacrificing protection for speed. Instead of defending by means of powerful direct blocks with heavy swords, this style favors using greater agility to dodge or deflect incoming attacks. Thrusts from thin Water Dancing rapiers are also not very effective at directly penetrating plate armor. Still, a warrior skilled in Water Dancing can run circles around an armored and slower opponent, and prove quite deadly by making quick strikes at weak spots in his enemy's armor. Much like water, the "Water Dance" stresses fluid motion, quickly advancing to attack or withdrawing to defend. Water Dancers employ a sideways stand, which provides the rival with a smaller target, with the weapon arm extended in diagonal and the opposite forearm behind the small of the back. The name of the fighting style actually takes its name from the habitual dueling location in Braavos in front of the Sealord's Palace, next to a reflecting pool which gives the optical impression to observers from afar that the combatants are dancing lightly across the water's surface.
- Water Dance is the eighteenth episode of the ninth season of Baywatch.
