Dancing & Fencing. Pike's Academy for Dancing and Fencing,
was opened on Monday last, 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
Summer as well as Winter; the great improvement from which
method, will be obvious to every one, and at the same time
remove any invidious insinuation, that this hint was only
given from a mean lucrative view.
