STORIES tap dance show returns to Peacock Theatre

Acclaimed French tap dance group STORIES: The Tap Dance Sensation returns to London’s Peacock Theatre this October, ahead of a UK tour, and following a rave-reviewed 2024 debut.

Tap dancing show STORIES: The Tap Dance Sensation will return to London’s Peacock Theatre between 14 and 31 October 2026 before heading out on a UK tour.

The acclaimed show by France’s RB Productions received its UK premiere in 2024 to rave reviews. It brings tap dance to new heights, blending storytelling with physicality and rhythm, and follows young actor Icarus, who despite being a big hit on screen, is under the oppressive influence of his director. After an epic argument, Icarus finds himself unable to escape the film director’s stranglehold.

What is STORIES about?

STORIES is a bold, energetic narrative-driven production that centres on Icarus, a successful young actor trapped under the control of a powerful film director.

It is a modern take on tap dance with a story brought to life by a cast of ten exceptional dancers performing a fusion of tap dance and urban jazz. A dynamic, transformable set by Federica Mugnai transports audiences through a cinematic world of film sets, hotels and gambling clubs, with atmospheric lighting by Alex Hardellet and costumes by Margaux Ponsard and Janie Loriault.

The company behind STORIES

RB Dance Company was founded in 2018 by artistic director, choreographer and producer Romain Rachline Borgeaud. It was initially created to revitalise tap dance and reintroduce it to contemporary audiences through ambitious large-scale narrative productions.

STORIES aims to modernise the art form while celebrating its theatrical roots, and the creative team also includes Angel Cubero as Resident Director, Houdia Ponty as Assistant Director, Sacha Néel as Assistant Choreographer, and Bruno Segni on hair and make-up design.
