[quote=robd;469299]2. Prepping on '1' - I have pretty much always been taught not to prep on '1' but to lead direction/length instead. Yet in the session covering sweethearts and folds Jordan mentioned very specifically that it was a double prep. I guess sometimes this issue gets confused by those whose preps are unnecessarily huge and sweeping but that's a separate issue to whether a prep on '1' is favoured or not.
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.

This is what Cat, Lee and Paul have advocated but Kyle and Robert have both advocated that it is better to give your follower as much information as possible on 1, ie to open your body to show that the follower is going down a certain path, also by prepping on 1 there is less ambiguity.

As usual you need to take this information and use it where you think it is appropriate.
