Yes, my teachers are the same. They changed, I dunno, six months ago, maybe more. Personally, I have yet to see any decent US Pro use this method (not saying they don't, just not seen it). I have come to the conclusion that if crossing is good enough for Jordan, it's good enough for me
So I ignore it and cross as always.
Heh, frankly I am probably in the wrong on this second one, I also ignore the no-prep on '1' instruction as well since I learn't to prep on one sometimes. This one I can actually see a reason for the change, but since it doesn't seem to effect either my or my partners dancing and IMO actually looks better to prep on '1' and '2' (better flow) rather than just on '2', I ignore it also.
