NYC Tartan Week 2025

The Fling Together Collective Dance Team is where tradition meets bold, modern energy!

 

A collaboration between Shot of Scotch NYC and Fling Together, our team unites passionate Highland dancers from around the world, including the US, Canada, Australia, and Scotland!

Since launching in 2024, we've grown to over 60 dancers, reeling down the Avenue of the Americas in a sea of tartan, kilts and infectious smiles! From pop-up showcases to large-scale parades, we bring Scottish culture to life in NYC with vibrant choreography, dynamic teamwork, and a shared love for Highland dance.

 

Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a curious spectator, the NYC Tartan Week is a celebration you won't want to miss!​​

 “One Team, Two Squads”

 

As part of the SoS/FT 2025 collaboration, FT is managing certain logistical components of the partnership including the application process and administration for the group of dancers previously referred to as “friends” (non SoS dancers invited by SoS to perform with them during Tartan Week). In 2024, FT auditioned and brought a team of dancers to increase the number of SoS “friends” who participated in the weekend. SoS also had their own group of “friends” in 2024. In an effort to unify and streamline the “friends” process, FT has combined the “friends” groups and created one team with two squads - both affiliated with FT and SoS collectively. The squads will require different levels of commitment and skill level to participate. 

Donations help us offset the costs of events and directly benefit our non-profit initiatives.
