Martin Foy, Dancing-Master, gratefully acknowledges the
favours hitherto conferred on him by his friends and
employers.
---He still continues his dancing school, at the assembly
room in Lodge-alley, and flatter himself, that the
improvement of his pupils in the time past, and every part
of his conduct in his business, will gain him the
approbation of such as wish well to this accomplishment, so
necessary to the easy and genteel deportment of both sexes.
Ladies and gentlemen who honour him with their commands, may
depend on his utmost assiduity and care in discharging the
trust reposed in him.  The public may rest assured his
school shall be conducted in a regular and polite manner;
the strictest order and decorum will be observed, and the
greatest attention given to improve his scholars in every
particular relative to a proper behaviour, at 30s. entrance,
and 30s. per quarter.  His days for public teaching are
Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays, misses at nine in the
morning, and masters at five in the evening. At the request
of the few gentlemen who have already commenced, he has
opened a night school for the reception of gentlemen only,
whose time will not permit their attendance at earlier
hours.  The room will be illuminated from eight till ten
o'clock each of the evenings of the days mentioned.  Ladies
who choose to be taught at their places of residence, will
be waited on, at a pistole entrance, and a pistole per
month.  Any message sent to him at Captain Nuttle's, in
Norris-alley, will be duly attended to.
