Monsieur De Viart Begs leave to inform those gentlemen and
ladies, who design to favour him with the instruction of
their children in the art of dancing, that he has always
endeavoured to merit the approvation of those who have
hitherto favoured him with their custom, by having at all
times obliged himself to instruct his pupils in those
principles which he received in that profession
himself.----It is not every one who pretends to teach this
delicate art, who will take the pains to instruct their
scholars in those rules of decorum and politeness which are
absolutely necessary to be known, before young persons can
step abroad into the world with elegance and ease.--and it
often happens that scholars, through the ignorance of their
masters, are guilty of great rudeness and commit great
blunders on their first going into company.
He designs to open his Academy at his lodgings in a house
belonging to the Hon. Daniel Warner, Esq; near the long
Wharf, on the first Monday of April next, and to hold his
school three days in the week, viz. Mondays, Thursdays, and
Saturdays, from two to six o'clock, P.M. Those scholars who
attended him this summer past, are to pay only two dollars
per quarter, and those that are new comers, are to pay two
dollars entrance, and two dollars per quarter.
N.B. Said Viart teaches Minuets, French Jiggs, Horn-Pipes,
Rigadoons, and English Country Dances of all kinds.
If any gentlemen have a mind to be taught privately in the
evening, he will be ready to wait upon them any time at
their leisure: and he likewise teaches the French language
in the easiest method, so that scholars may understand it in
a very little time; and several other arts and sciences
which he is master of; those gentlemen and ladies, who will
honor him with their custom may depend upon all the
satisfaction in the power of their most humble and obedient
servant.
