I first came across the expression "Smooth Jive" being used by David Plumber of JiveVibe, since then other jive organisations have used the same phrase. Essentially it attempts to remove the bounce that is common in many Ceroc/Jive offerings. Also it borrows the slot from WCS.
I don't know of any offical qualifications offered in it that are recognised by any body such as the UKA. Infact even being a Ceroc trained (CTA) does not (or at least did not 2 years ago) gain any recognition by the UKA. As far as I am aware only LeRoc teachers are recognised by the UKA. I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong in that.
Having said all that having a qualification does not mean you can teach, or dance for that matter!
