Dancing & Fencing. Pike's Academy for dancing and fencing
was open April 27 at the New Assembly Rooms in Church
street. The use of the small sword taught every morning
from five to nine. Young ladies and gentlemen instructed in
dancing from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon
every Thursday and Saturday. The other days he attends the
principal boarding schools. Ladies and gentlemen privately
instructed in all the modern dances. An evening school
every evening in the week. Conscious that he has now
provided himself with such a room as enables him to teach
through the hottest summer with ease, he humbly presumes to
recommend to all parents and guardians who can afford it to
continue their children in summer as well as winter. The
great improvement from which method will be obvious to
everyone, and at the same time remove any invidious
insinuation that this hint was only given from a mean,
lucrative view.
