Thomas Doherty dips co-star Juliet Doherty share a cute moment in the music video for “Masterpiece” from their upcoming movie, High Strung: Free Dance.
High Strung: Free Dance centers on Zander Raines (Thomas), a dazzling and tempestuous young choreographer who gives the break of a lifetime to two hopeful artists when he casts a stunning contemporary dancer, Barlow (Juliet) and innovative pianist, Charlie (Harry Jarvis) in New York’s most-anticipated new Broadway show: Free Dance.
But the move throws off the show’s delicate creative balance when Charlie falls hard for Barlow while Zander embraces her as his muse.
Thomas performs the new song, which will be available on iTunes and other digital platforms on Friday, September 20th. The full soundtrack will be released on October 11th, the same day as the movie!
Thomas Doherty has blessed us with one of the first posters for his new movie, High Strung Free Dance!
The 23-year-old actor shared the image, which features him, shirtless, in the center of the poster. The poster does read New York Academy: Free Dance, which is the title of the movie in that country.
“Italy are you guys ready?” he asked his Italian fans in the caption.
High Strung: Free Dance is set in New York City and follows Barlow (Juliet Doherty), a young contemporary dancer and Charlie (Harry Jarvis) an innovative classical pianist.
Both win the break of a lifetime when they are cast in the international live tour of Free Dance choreographed by the young and talented Zander (Thomas).
There’s no premiere date for the US or UK yet, but when we find out, we’ll let you know!
Juliet Doherty is spilling all the details on her make out session with co-star Thomas Doherty in their new movie, High Strung: Free Dance.
In her new cover story with Dance Spirit, the 21-year-old dancer opens up about the flick, and working with the cast, which she says is “filled with so many talented people.”
Juliet adds, “Some of the dancers were only 16 years old, and they were already so fully expressed. It was the most inspiring set to be on every day, because we were all constantly dancing and moving and singing.”
In the flick, Juliet and Thomas (who aren’t related!) have a make out session, and she also shares a kiss or two with co-star Harry Jarvis.
“Barlow auditions for a Broadway show, and the choreographer, Zander, takes an interest in her,” she explains of the film. “There’s also Charlie, the ‘nice guy’ Barlow really likes—but she’s mesmerized by this charismatic choreographer. Anyway, I kiss both of them.”
“I was so nervous because I’d never kissed anyone on camera!” Juliet admits. “During one scene with Thomas, they let us keep kissing for a full minute. I think in both our minds we were like, ‘Are they gonna call cut sometime soon?!’ But you just keep going until they do.”
High Strung: Free Dance doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s coming soon!

When these two young artists are thrown together, they immediately clash, but neither can deny the sparks that fly between, or their shared ambition of trying to make it in the most competitive city in the world.
When Ruby’s scholarship is threatened, and Johnnie suddenly faces deportation, they join forces and enter a contest where winning�or losing– could change their lives forever. With the help of a dynamic dance crew called The SwitchSteps, they prepare to perform in a competition that unites their disparate worlds, and climaxes in an action-packed extravaganza that thrillingly combines hard hitting hip-hop with contemporary and classical dance.
