Dedicated to dancers with full mastery of swing, possibly with experience in multiple swing disciplines and high technical and expressive skill.
A deep understanding of swing in all its aspects is required—rhythm, movement, musicality, stage presence, improvisation, and partner/music interaction.
This level is structured more like an artistic collective than a class, focusing on research, interpretation, and experimentation.
An exclusive level for those ready to push their limits alongside the best.

Mastery of fundamentals, technical solidity, and the ability to battle or perform are required.
