STORIES – The Tap Dance Sensation

STORIES is a tap dance show by RB Dance Company, staged at the Peacock Theatre in London. It combines tap, urban jazz and percussion around a dramatic storyline.

The production follows Icarus, a young actor who is already successful on screen but finds himself under the controlling influence of his film director. After a fierce argument, Icarus cannot escape the director's hold, and the dancers carry this tension through the piece.

RB Dance Company builds its work on urban jazz, tap and percussion, with physical movement at the centre of the staging. The company has toured Europe and reached the final stages of a French television talent competition, which brought its work to a wider public. STORIES is presented as a dance-led show rather than a spoken drama.

The Peacock Theatre, where the production was previously staged, hosts concerts and shows in London. This show will appeal to those interested in tap and percussive dance, and in narrative-driven choreography.
