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.
