Jack longs to be a pirate. He loves everything about the job, from the opportunity to make new friends to the excitement of exotic travel. Jack also loves to dance, from the graceful glide of the glissade to the energetic leap of the grand jйtй. In fact, Jack often dances as he does his pirate apprentice chores.

Can Jack convince the captain that dancing is not a bad thing, and may even help Jack be a better pirate? Back matter includes explanations of dance movements and definitions of pirate speak.
