Mr. Thomas Turner begs leave to inform the public, that he
proposes opening a Dancing and Fencing Academy, at the
assembly room in the Broadway: Those ladies and gentlemen,
who please to favour him with their company, or who chuse to
have their children instructed, may be assured of his
attention, and that he will exert himself to render his
school respectable, and to merit the confidence they may
please to place in him.
He proposes to attend the Dancing School on Tuesdays and
Fridays, from 10 to 1 o'clock; Wednesdays and Saturdays he
proposes devoting the same hours to those gentlemen, who
wish to be instructed in the use of the small sword. He
retains a grateful sense of the favours conferred on his
brother (who moved with considerable reputation in this
line, some years before the revolution) by the polite circle
in this city; and by his attention and abilities in his
profession, he flatters himself they will extend their
protection and favours to him. Mr. Turner will be found at
Col Sear's, near the Fort, where he will be happy to receive
the commands of those ladies and gentlemen, who wish to
converse with him on the subject.
N.B. Among Mr. Turner's Cotillons are a number of modern
figures, not hitherto introduced in this place.
