Tap dance, urban percussion, acrobatics, hip hop and comedy collide in the rhythm based theatre show Tap Factory. A brand new show in the genre of STOMP, Tap Dogs and Blue Man Group, Tap Factory incorporates different genres of dance against a contemporary urban setting to create a wholly unique piece of jaw-dropping performance.

The fusion between different artists (the best of the best in their own fields of discipline) creates a show packed with amazing performances, exciting live rhythms and dynamic energy, all pinned together with a great sense of comedy. Prepare yourself for an all-out assault on the senses.

Visiting the UK for the very first time, this world class production is a dazzling cirque experience fresh from sell out tours in Europe and South America. Created by renowned French dancer, choreographer and director Vincent Pausanias to showcase tap dance at its very best. The show is supported by multiple tap dance world champion and comedian Gilles Guenat and dance star Jérémie Champagne.
