She Dances is an upcoming 2025 Comedy drama film, directed by Rick Gomez in his directorial debut, from a screenplay by Gomez and Steve Zahn. It stars Zahn, Ethan Hawke, Sonequa Martin-Green, Mackenzie Ziegler, Rosemarie DeWitt and Audrey Zahn.

“Steve Zahn seamlessly steps into leading man status, delivering a nuanced performance that refreshingly presents the estranged father archetype as a good man who consistently tries his best to be there for everyone around him.” – Christian Zilko, Indiewire.

Forced to reconnect on the road to her final dance competition, a father and daughter must confront their fractured relationship. As they navigate a shared tragedy, the whirlwind of the Young Miss Southeast Regional Dance Finals becomes the backdrop for their journey toward healing. The film is co-written by Director Rick Gomez and Actor Steve Zahn, who stars alongside his daughter Audrey Zahn.

She Dances is a story about rediscovering family and finding yourself—about accepting what is, letting it shape you, and recognizing who you are through the memories of those you love most. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
