Philadelphia, August 21, 1773. Alexander Russell, dancing-
master, will open school, at the Assembly Room, in Lodge-
alley, Second-street, on Monday, the 25th of September next,
for the accomplishment of young gentlemen and ladies in this
genteel part of polite education.  Those gentlemen and
ladies, who shall be pleased to entrust him with the
education of their children, may be assured he will take
particular care of their behaviour, as well as intrust them
in every branch of dancing.  He teaches the minuet in the
newest and most approved method; likewise double and reverse
minuets, bretagnes, single, double and triple hornpipes,
cotilions, with a variety of the newest country-dances, as
practiced in the most polite assemblies in Europe.  A night
class will be opened for such young gentlemen as cannot
attend in the day.
