Two cities, one Scottish country dance festival
Spring Fling is a weekend of dance, organised by young people, for young people. Each year the event is held in a different location and 2020 is extra special, with two host cities; Saint Petersburg in Russia and Toronto in Canada. Spring Fling is open to dancers aged 12-35 and all those attending can look forward to a fantastic weekend of dancing, socialising and making friends.
Both events will have a joint Fringe programme of activities for people aged 35+ over the respective weekend.
It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Spring Fling events. Find out more >
