Adele trained in Ballet Performance and Biology at the University of Oklahoma — a combination that reflects her lifelong curiosity about the body and how it moves. She launched her professional career with the Los Angeles Ballet, before spending the following decade performing with an array of celebrated companies including Boston Ballet, Ballet Neo, Syracuse City Ballet, Eglevsky Ballet, Baltimore Ballet, Connecticut Ballet, and English Youth Ballet. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of performing leading roles in Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, Giselle, and George Balanchine’s Prodigal Son, alongside a rich variety of neoclassical and contemporary works.

 

Beyond the stage, Adele has had the pleasure of collaborating with film directors Jonathan Klein and Sinisa Nesivic, light and video artist and choreographer Darren Johnson, video artist and composer Trevor Jackson, and designer Atalanta Weller — creative partnerships that have deepened her understanding of movement as a language across art forms.

 

Her teaching has taken her to the School at Steps on Broadway, guest residencies at schools across the US, and back to English Youth Ballet. In the studio, Adele focuses on the full physicality of movement — building on the fundamentals of ballet while developing the strength, flexibility, and freedom that allow true expression to emerge.
