Adele Robbins
Ballet Artist, Educator & Founder
of FieldWorks Dance
Adele Robbins is a former professional ballet dancer, educator and founder of FieldWorks Dance, an independent dance studio in London Fields, Hackney.
​
Originally trained in Ballet Performance and Biology at the University of Oklahoma, Adele's academic and artistic backgrounds reflect a lifelong curiosity about the relationship between the body, movement and physical expression.
​
She began her professional career with Los Angeles Ballet, going on to spend the following decade performing with an array of established ballet companies, including Boston Ballet, Ballet Neo, Syracuse City Ballet, Eglevsky Ballet, Baltimore Ballet, Connecticut Ballet and English Youth Ballet.
Her repertoire has included leading roles in classical productions such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and Giselle, as well as George Balanchine's Prodigal Son and a wide range of neoclassical and contemporary works.
​
Beyond the stage, Adele has developed an artistic practice through collaborations across dance, film, visual art and design. Her creative partnerships have included film directors Jonathan Klein and Sinisa Nesivic, artist and choreographer Darren Johnson, video artist and composer Trevor Jackson, and designer Atalanta Weller.
Alongside her performance career, Adele has taught at the School at Steps on Broadway, undertaken guest teaching residencies at schools across the United States and worked with English Youth Ballet.
​
Now based in London, she founded FieldWorks Dance to create a dedicated space for dance training, artistic development and creative exchange.
A Wider Perspective on Dance & Movement
​
Adele believes dance should never be limited to one style, technique or level of experience.
​
While her own training and professional career began in classical ballet, her approach to dance today is informed by a wider appreciation of movement and the many ways people engage with it.
​
Through FieldWorks Dance, she champions a diverse programme of dance disciplines, bringing together experienced teachers and artists who offer different perspectives, techniques and creative approaches.
​
For Adele, the value of dance extends beyond technical achievement. It offers opportunities to build physical confidence, develop creativity, connect with others and discover new ways of understanding the body.
​
Her ambition is to create an environment where professional dancers, returning dancers, complete beginners and curious movers can all find something meaningful in their practice.
