THE SHOW
What is TAP FACTORY ?
TAP FACTORY is an explosive high octane show that merges:
PERCUSSIONS, ACROBATICS, HIP HOP, MUSIC, URBAN TAP DANCE & COMEDY.
An incredibly generous cast that gives itself without counting until the last second and gives you a purely positive energy.
Rhythms sometimes powerful, sometimes very smooth, that penetrate and vibrate the bodies and minds of the audience.
But these drums would not be what they are without those moments of pure poetry which bring this subtle balance between power and lightness.
AND COMEDY! This bunch of handsome men is full of humor and self-deprecation, and they shows us that it is possible to be sexy and extremely funny at the same time !
The most family friendly show !
W e often receive the question: is the show suitable for a young audience?
The answer is yes! Tap Factory is a family-friendly, Chaplinesque show that is enjoyable for all ages, and kids absolutely love it!

La Dépêche du midi
It’s a show that combines the street-smart percussion of Stomp, the Vaudevillian appeal of tap dancing, and a little of the stage theatrics of Blue Man and more besides.
