Majors & Minors

CREATED IN 2020

ride the melody

In 2023, we celebrate five years of RBCI. To honour this milestone, our symphonic signature returned to two different stages with two different casts.

Originally created amidst the global pandemic, Majors & Minors brings a traditional concept into the modern era by attuning music and might. With ever-changing audience capacity regulations at the time of its original inception, we proudly orchestrated this dual rendition in both Mackay and Brisbane to let this reinvented score relish in its deserved glory.

Availing a total of 85 young dancers from across Australia, we rode the rewritten melody as we triumphantly commemorate five years of artistic opulence.

Created amidst the global pandemic, our second full-length creation serenaded all into a captivating realm composed of melodic magic.

While a timeless concept, Majors & Minors combined elegance with innovation, and transcended tradition by personifying the empathy and essence of harmony in a way like no other.

With a cast of 33 young dancers sourced from 14 different dance schools across Queensland and New South Wales, our 2022 Season proudly stands as our symphonic signature.
