Dancing and Fencing.  Pike's Academy for Dancing and Fencing
will be opened on Monday next 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 everyone, and at the same time remove any
invidious insinuation, that this hint was only given from a
mean, lucrative view.
