Peter Vianey, music, fencing, and dancing-master, at Mrs.
Hayes's, opposite to the Hon. John Watts's near the
Exchange; has opened his public-dancing school, where he
teaches minuets and French country dances, at a pistole a
quarter, and a pistole entrance.  He teaches ladies or
gentlemen in private, either at his house, or at their own
homes, at a pistole a month, and a pistole entrance.  As he
teaches in the style of the best masters in Europe, and
their manner is discoverable in his scholars, tho' none of
them have yet had time to be perfected in their minuets, he
makes no doubt of being honoured with the farther protection
and countenance of those ladies and gentlemen who have
hitherto employed him. Having been informed that he has been
mistaken for a dancing-master, whose behaviour to his
scholars gave just offence in this city, some years ago, he
takes the liberty to inform those who are not acquainted
with him, that he never was in this city till the year 1764;
and that all who know him, will do him the justice to
testify that his conduct has ever been regular and
unexceptionable.
