Entertainment dance football

‘Discofoot’ mashes up dance and football like you wouldn’t believe – or possibly even want

Discofoot marries football and dance in a way that you may never have believed possible – or even wanted to be possible.

Devised by CCN – Ballet de Lorraine choreographers Petter Jacobsson and Thomas Caley, Disco Football or Discofoot involves two teams of twelve, a DJ, one referee and three dance judges, and there’s more than one way to score.

It’s a form of entertainment, rather than a competitive sport, with just 20 minutes of play per match, plus a five-minute break for half-time. Mind you, we could totally see Trent Alexander Arnold being brilliant at it. We’re less sure about Erling Haaland.

Here’s how TikTok reacted.

“And Travis has the ball, does a passable contemporary pirouette as he passes to Lemar, the riverdance is sublime. In comes Baker, shuffles, high kicks the air while the ball is… elsewhere”.

You know when you see a sport and think “where has this been all my life, I would totally be a star in this”? Well, this is the complete opposite for me.
