Paw to Pointe

Ballet dancers answer a calling that demands they become what they must become, a calling as clear, simple, and inevitable as the Call of Nature is to canines. In a voice from the EAMOW, with a prodigious supporting cast of professional dancers and devoted canines, Paw to Pointe calls lovers of ballet, dogs, nature, and life to experience a spiritual-conceptual merging of seemingly disparate but intimately connected realms.

Honesty, innocence, beauty, love, abuse, bliss, tragedy, confusion, understanding, and transformation . . . The art of classical ballet and the life of domesticated canines share fundamental truths known only to dancers and dogs.

Paw to Pointe tells their story. Every whisper of which is true.

From Dorothea Joyce, award-winning songwriter, author, music producer, and performer . . .

“Pristine organization, photography, and presentation immediately drew me into this gem of a book. We humans have so much more to learn about the essence and life force of nature. The author creatively and uniquely expresses the relationship between humans and animals through ballet in a way that brings insight into the nature of Nature and how we are supported by her wind, water, fire, and ether. With a positive approach toward everything, Ms. Mulcahy gives us a deeper perspective of our relationship to everything.

“If I was an animal (or a ballet dancer) I would be on guard with humans, too. There is NOTHING like this fabulous book in the entire world. It is a masterpiece.”
