Learn more""Though this tale explores painful emotions, its focus on Jennifer’s personal experience and the pleasure she found in dance make it an absolute delight.""—Kirkus Reviews
From the first Black Radio City Rockette dancer, Jennifer Jones, comes an inspiring autobiography perfect for fans of trailblazers like Misty Copeland, Mae Jemison, and more.
Dancing has always made her feel free, like she can do anything. But when Jennifer was a child, some people didn’t think that she had a future as a dancer because of the color of her skin.
With the support of her family, especially her mother, she proved that anything is possible when you believe you belong.
On the Line is a captivating true story about manifesting your dreams.
Jennifer Jones is a Tony Award–winning dancer and activist known for her pioneering role as the first Black Rockette. Since 1987, she has advocated for equal rights in the arts, and her work has been celebrated by the Harlem School of the Arts, Radio City Music Hall, and Madison Square Garden. She is a colon cancer survivor and the author of a forthcoming memoir, Becoming Spectacular. She lives in New Jersey with her husband, Jeffrey. This is her first book.
