A Book for Dancers of All Ages

Watch the video to see how our book, Toe the Line: Lessons of a Lifelong Dance Teacher, draws on the words and wisdom of Burncoat Dance Program Founder Joan Sheary. Buy the book from our production company, Aquarius Video, by clicking on the secure yellow “Buy Now” PayPal  button on this page. Cost is $20 per copy plus $4.99 shipping. 

A professional dancer turned teacher, Joan translated her lifelong love of dancing into a 30-year career as a public-school dance instructor. The illustrations are drawn directly from photos and footage shot in the years spent making our film.

Joan’s no-nonsense mottoes, delivered daily in her classes, informed and inspired thousands of students on and off the dance floor, from the first day of middle and high school until long after graduation.

Help us finish our film. Purchase a copy for $20 plus $4.99 shipping. Thank you for your help in bringing Toe the Line to life, and for your support of arts education writ large.
