This issue surfaced for me at Weston, when Kyle and Sarah taught one pattern advocating only a single prep on "2" and then a further pattern the next day advocating preps on "1&2". I spoke to Kyle about it afterwards since, like Rob, I'm used to the single prep only instruction. I remained a little confused but that was probably down to my tiredness, since he did try to give me a concrete explanation.

There are more examples of variations in teaching but these two came to mind quickly. However, as frustrating as I find this, I am coming to terms with the fact that there is no one, specific 'correct' way to do these things - different teahcers have different preferences and I just try to take what I can from each one that works for me when dancing socially.
