Roses are Yellow: Seeing the World Through Different Eyes, is a dance concert that explores how individuals with disabilities can still participate in dance despite their disability(ies) - everyone can dance in their own way. People can do much more than what is expected of them and can amaze others. This performance will hopefully be very eye opening and uplifting. Translators will be available for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. This performance is the culmination of an independent study by RU Dance Major Emily McKinney.
