Thomas Pike, Takes this opportunity of returning thanks to
his friends, for their past favours; and can only add that
he will make it his chief study to merit a continuance of
them by a particular care and assiduity of instructing his
pupils in the real and true method of Dancing.
Ladies or gentlemen may be instructed very expeditiously on
moderate terms in Orchesography, (or the art of dancing by
characters and demonstrative figures, wherein the whole art
is explained with complete tables of all the steps used in
dancing); the utility of which method is very well known in
Europe, as they are thereby enabled to detect all pretenders
to that science.
He continues to teach dancing at his Long-Room, in the
Orange-Garden, Tradd-Street, on Thursdays and Saturdays for
his day-scholars.
He intends opening the school for teaching the small sword
on Friday the 20th instant, where attendance will be given
every morning from seven to nine o'clock at the same place;
where grown gentlemen are instructed in dancing every
evening after six o'clock.
He attends the boarding schools on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays.
N.B. The ball is fixed for the latter end of November.
