"Mr. Battle makes an audience sit up and take notice, marvel, even laugh. His work reaches over the edge of the stage and communicates with people." —New York Sun

At once quirky and timeless, Battleworks Dance Company has rapidly established itself as one of America’s most promising and aesthetically daring ensembles. Under the direction of founder Robert Battle, the company made its debut in 2002 at the World Dance Alliance’s Global Assembly in Düsseldorf, Germany. Boldly pushing the boundaries that have traditionally circumscribed modern dance, Battle takes his troupe of dancers to previously uncharted limits. His works, in high demand, have been commissioned by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Hubbard Street Repertory Ensemble, Dallas Black Dance Theater, Koresh Dance Company and PARADIGM, to name a few. Battle has a long-standing relationship with the University Dancers, for which he has choreographed three dances in the past.
