Dancing is too silly and not fitting for a rough, tough pirate.
Unfortunately, Captain Squinty Eye\'s number one pirate-ship rule is Pirates DON\'T DANCE.
In fact, Jack often dances as he does his pirate apprentice chores.
Jack also loves to dance, from the graceful glide of the glissade to the energetic leap of the grand jeté; to the controlled kick of the grand battement.
He loves everything about the job, from the peacefulness of the ocean to the opportunity to make new friends to the excitement of exotic travel.
