FILM MAKER, DIRECTOR/CHOREOGRAPHER, ACTRESS

Adele Binelli is currently producing and directing her first screenplay. After a thriving career as a choreographer on Broadway as well as on commercial venues, Adele is now a successful film maker who recently attended NYFA in Los Angeles to polish her movie directing skills.

Here is the story of her humble beginnings:

Adele Binelli started choreographing on the tile floor  of her living room in Italy.

She was intrigued by the dances in such iconic movies as “West Side Story”, “All That Jazz”, “Hair” and “A Chorus Line” - movies which later, among others, became subject of  her  Master  Degree  dissertation:  “Dance  in  the  American  Movie  Musical”.

After a solid ballet and jazz foundation 

(Matt Mattox was her very first jazz teacher) and training   in  acting,  singing,  and  dancing  with the best educators in the heart of New York City, Adele went on to work with two of the people she so admired: Gwen Verdon and Ann Reinking, 

perfecting  the  Bob Fosse  style  and completely diving into the artistry of  the late choreographer. 

Being the apprentice for Ann Reinking more than once in “The Broadway Theatre Project”, Adele caught the eye of the latter when choreographing her first piece, “Everything Said” and there followed her first professional choreography/staging commission, a regional production of “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”.

At  the  same  time,  Adele  was  participating  in  multiple musical theatre workshops immersing herself completely in lectures led by Stanley Donnen, Julian Stein, Jeff Calhoun,  Pat Birch, Gregory Hines, Roy Sheider,  to  mention  a few.

Adele studied as many dance  vocabularies and styles as possible (and relentlessly does).

Her first commercial break happened with the Pepsi Cola Company as she choreographed the National Industrial for the lunching of 

“Pepsi Twist”.

Adele went on being 

the associate 

choreographer/director 

on Broadway f

or projects such as the 

run of the British show “Cafe a GoGo”, 

(the London West End original title is “A Slice of Saturday Night”) by the Heather Brothers as well as working in the same capacity for many MTV Europe Award Winning music videos,

including

Buoni o Cattivi, Vasco Rossi, 

as assistanto to choreographer 

Franco Miseria).

Adele  also continued   her  acting  studies  deepening   her  knowledge  of  classic  and  contemporary theater, before  branching  out  in  movie and  tv  studies.

Her  singing  classes  covering  the  masterpieces  of  the  Musical  Theater   form  through its  history, were numerous  and  varied.

As an actress, Adele appeared on the ABC  "General Hospital" and was on "One Life To Live" as “Connie“.  She  also  performed  in  various  regional  theater  productions in  New  York.

Choreography   was  naturally  leading  into  directing,   which  is   what  Adele  is  pursuing  now.  

Directing  movies  is  what  she  strives  for  and  directing  and  choreographing  dance  movies  is  the  ultimate  goal   for  Adele.

Adele has been teaching   acting,  singing  and  dancing  

for 30  years, 

all throughout her professional career, bringing her passion and  experience  to  as  many   artists  as  possible,  mentoring, coaching and helping young professionals shine through their uniqueness.

In  2015  Adele founded  a  small  boutique  school  called  Triple  Threat  Conservatory,  with  in  person  as  well  as  virtual  classes  for  those who  want  to  explore  the  magical  world  of  the  Performing  Arts.

Adele  firmly  believes  that  one  has  to be  a  working  professional  in  order  to  be  the  best  educator  one  can  be.

Adele Binelli   is  proud  of  having  acquired her US  citizenship as a self petitioner choreographer-director.
