Highland Fling Scottish Highland Dance competition during 2022 Kenmore Highland Games in Scotland

Competitors in the Highland Fling Scottish Highland dance during the 2022 Kenmore Highland Games. These are held by Loch Tay at Kenmore in Perthshire, one of the only evening Highland Games in Scotland.
The Highland Fling is one of the most famous Scottish dances performed at competitions and championships throughout the world. It is said to have been inspired by the sight of a stag jumping around a hillside. The dancers movements; the arms held aloft like antlers, the feet dancing from side to side, the body turning around, all suggest the stag's playing.

As a former professional athlete, I can tell that this dance style is physically extremely demanding. They are executing the choreography to perfection, and do that with a smile on their face.

[@GenCHarv]

Yeah fr as a highland dancers it very hard and ESPECIALLY keeping that smile lolll

[@mdesign8675]

That's why the smiles look so forced and unnatural.

[@petuniawigglebottom3392]

Not as impressive as the Irish step dancing a la Riverdance, but still love it. Oh, and the music! I could listen to that all day!

国民性に違いはスコットランドとは 多いかも知れません。
ただ 地方の文化を大切に.. 深く理解出来ます。

[@Enoughsenoughnomas]

Lol, Irish are fast little leprechauns, scots are strong goofy looking and just bounding along

[@ulfhadner]

Both better than the Gay English dancing around a pole with bells on

[@Enoughsenoughnomas]

@@ulfhadner okay. I’m American I don’t know. America doesn’t have a dance.
