- Q1617922 abstract "For the Northern Highlands Regional High School newspaper see The Highland FlingFor the famous NZ trotter see Highland Fling (horse)For the 1936 film see Highland Fling (film)The Highland Fling is a solo Highland dance that gained popularity in the early 19th century. The word 'Fling' means literally a movement in dancing. In John Jamieson's Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language, 1808, Highland Fling was defined as 'one species of movement' in dancing, not just one particular movement. There is some speculation that the first solo Highland Fling dances simply showed off steps that individual dancers preferred in the Strathspey Reel, a social dance.This dance is now performed at dance competitions and events around the world. One goal of dancers today is to stay in the same spot throughout the dance. The Highland Fling is danced at almost all competition levels, from Primary to Premier. It is also performed for Highland and Theory examinations. Dancers wear the standard kilt outfit to perform this dance. It is in 44 time.A version of a Fling in a percussive dance style was remembered and danced by John Gillis in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and those steps were written down in 1957 by Frank Rhodes. Each step was preceded by a travelling step in a circular pathway danced to the first part of the tune Sterling Castle, while the individual Fling steps were danced to the second part of the tune.The Highland Fling is referenced in the lyrics of Harlem hot jazz musician Harry Gibson's 1947 hit, "Who put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?"".
