I have been a taxi for only a few months. Whilst "working" I try to incorporate all 4 of the points mentioned - dependent on the "feel" of the group. The first-timers probably want to get to grips with the 4 moves they have just learnt and feel comfortable with them. Those on their 4th/5th lesson probably benefit more from emphasis on the beat (if they haven't already got it) and benefit from encouragement not to stick only to the four moves they have learned that night, but to incorporate moves they have learnt previously. I don't think there is a definitive answer to this one - it would just depend on the group you get on the night. I have even split the group into 2 and concentrated on the basics for the moves with the first timers and done something more complex with the others (adding other beginners moves to make the sequence longer), with each taxi dancer taking a group.

As far as I know there is no specific training (or at least I haven't been invited to attend any training yet). I have been told there are meetings between Ceroc staff and taxis, but have not yet attended one.
