Discofoot - is an ass kickin’, DJ spinnin’, maybe even twerkin’ free-styling battle, where the rules of soccer are twisted and thrashed by dance. Conceived by choreographers Petter Jacobsson and Thomas Caley, Discofoot is a hybrid performance uniting sport with dance, utilizing the basic forms, placement and rules of European football (soccer) BUT, with one defining factor. To move and/or travel on the field all are required to dance!

In celebration of the 2026 World Cup, the City of West Hollywood will participate by hosting performances of Discofoot in their “Fan Zone” in West Hollywood Park from June 26-28, 2026. The project is looking for professional contemporary dancers of all gender identities with strong personal performance qualities and experience in a variety of forms and styles. Familiarity with ballet technique and a basic knowledge of soccer is a plus. Most importantly, the ideal candidate is open to making instantaneous creative decisions, generating material, and is comfortable and experienced with improvisation in the creative and performance process.

This opportunity is open to dancers ages 18 and up. Residents of Los Angeles County are encouraged to apply. Dancers must be available for rehearsals in West Hollywood, CA from June 1 – June 25, performances to take place June 26 – 28, 2026. Dancers will be compensated at $40/hour for a three-week rehearsal period, and $1600/week for performances. Contract is based on dancers being local to the LA area - travel, housing and per diem are not provided. 

Applicants must apply to audition by SUBMITTING THIS FORM.

Based on this submission, select applicants will be called in for an in-person audition on May 22nd - 24th, 2026 in West Hollywood, CA. Final submission date is 04/17/2026.
