The subscriber, lately arrived from Paris, begs leave to
inform the gentlemen and ladies of this city, that he
proposes to open an academy of dancing, which he has, for
many years, with approbation, professed, in several parts of
France; and, consequently, is capable of qualifying the
youth of both sexes committed to his care, in a very short
time, for any assembly whatsoever. It is not every one, who
pretends to teach this delicate art, who will take pains to
instruct their pupils, in those rules of decorum and
politeness, which are so absolutely necessary to be
inculcated into them, before they can step abroad, into the
world with elegance and ease; as it often happens, that
scholars (through the ignorance or negligence of their
masters) are guilty of great rudeness, and commit gross
blunders, on their first appearance, in company.
Such gentlemen and ladies, as shall please to encourage
him, may depend on his utmost care and assiduity, in this
important part of the education of their children, as he
will make it his constant study to give general
satisfaction, and will hold his school at the long room near
the Fountain-Inn, in Chesnut-Street, between Second and
Third-Streets, three days a week, viz. Monday, Thursday, and
Saturday, from two to six o'clock in the afternoon: To
begin next month. [signed] Viart.
N.B. Said Viart teaches minuets, French jigs, hornpipes,
cotillons, and English country dances of all kinds, in the
most approved and modern taste; and likewise small sword and
music. Mornings and evenings he may be spoke to at any time,
at Mr. Hogan's, in Pear-Street, near St. Paul's Church.
