Jack longs to be a pirate.
Back matter includes explanations of Dance movements, as well as definitions of pirate speak..
What will it take for Jack to convince Captain Squinty Eye that dancing is not a bad thing, and may even help Jack be a better pirate? Or will Jack and his dreams get tossed overboard? An empowering and relatable story about staying true to yourself and following your dreams.
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.
