Plan No. 400. Taught Dancing in Spare Time
A young man in a New York town, who had become an expert dancer, while attending college was asked to take the place of the local dancing master in his town during a temporary illness.
Not feeling quite equal to the task, he went to the city, attended a first-class dancing school, learned all the intricate details, the system, etc., and came back to his home town ready to accept the position tendered.
When he showed his pupils the superiority of his methods over those of the local teacher, they organized a large class and placed themselves under his charge. The pupils made remarkable progress, and the hall he had rented for the purpose was occupied by classes nearly every evening during the week, while he gave a number of private lessons at 75 cents each. His earnings from the few spare hours he was able to give to dancing lessons netted him about $20 a week, in addition to a good salary he was earning during business hours.
