There's a part of me that never felt my mother abandoned me. I always felt that she did the right thing.
From Robert Battle
I wanted to be an Ailey dancer. I would watch Alvin Ailey videos over and over, and I'd picture myself doing that. I was obsessed with it.
I never expected to go to Juilliard. When they came recruiting in Miami, I auditioned. I got a scholarship.
I studied dance at a high school arts magnet program before moving on to Miami's New World School of the Arts, and from there, I went on to study at The Juilliard School.
Seeing 'Revelations' made me want to be a professional dancer.
