| I'm not a Taxi Dancer, but I would have thought that the primary objective of a TD would be to bolster the beginner's self-confidence; it shouldn't matter whether they follow methods 1,2,3 or 4.
And I would also assume that it would depend on what the beginner's were asking of the TD: From observation it seems that one bold couple approach and ask about a specific thing {eg. "how do you get into/out of a move?" or "am I doing this bit right?"} and others just join in.
As a beginner {a while ago now}, I danced with taxi dancers and found them to outline where I was going right, not correcting where I was going wrong - giving me encouragement to stay on and giving me tips on general dancing, not on the specific moves. Personally I can't think on a better way for the taxi-dancers to do their jobs.
