• FEIGERT, Friedrich: dance master

An advertisement was published by Mercy’s Anzeiger 11/1/1857 announcing that on Tuesday 20th January 1857 would be ‘Fried. Feigert’s First Carnival-Reunion in the Kovikt Hall.’ Feigert was noted to be arranging four dance-reunions on 20th, 27th January and on 10th and 17th February. The events, remarked the advertisement, would include all the excellent features of his reunions and would certainly be very successful. The advertisement also announced that each Sunday afternoon at 5pm during the carnival season, dance lessons would be given Feigert’s rooms. The text was undersigned by ‘Friedrich Feigert, Townsmann and Dance teacher, Marienplatz [Marianské náměstí] nr.100-1.’

A large advertisement was published by Mercy’s Anzeiger 8/2/1857 announcing: ‘Noch eine Pepita!! Friedrich Feigert’s penultimate Dance-Reunion takes place in the Konvikt Hall on 20th February 1857. On general request there will be a great comic Dance-Divertissement arranged by the above-named during the interval, under the title Staberl’s most beautiful Day of Love, performed by several of his [Feigert’s] students, 1. Styrian Pas de Deux, danced by two young ladies, 2. La Madrilena and El Olé, danced by Monsieur Saberle and Sennora Baberle [Saberle]. Beginning 8 o’clock. Ending after midnight. Friedrich Feigert, dance teacher.’ The same advertisment was published in the newspaper on 9/2/1857 and 10/2/1857 with the addendum that the event had previously been advertised with the incorrect date of 20th February.

The Vergnügungsanzeiger of Mercy’s Anzeiger 10/2/1857 reported ‘Today Tuesday... Konvikt Hall: Feigert’s Dance-Reunion [Tanzreunion].’
