About us: who are we?
Margaret, prima ballerina, choreographer, and teacher, embodies the elegance of classical dance combined with profound contemporary exploration. Léonilde Torrini, dancer and multidisciplinary performer, blends urban dance, acrobatics, and stage expression with unique intensity. Together, they create a unique choreographic language, where technique meets emotion, and where every movement becomes a tribute to life, resilience, and the beauty of sharing.
My choreographic creations and teaching materials extend this vocation of transmission, where dance becomes a true path of transformation, discipline, and personal fulfillment.
Margaret Torrini: prima ballerina, choreographer, and instructor
As a prima ballerina, choreographer, and teacher, I have devoted my life to the art of classical dance. My career has taken me from European stages to Asian ones, notably to Minoru Ochi’s Ballet in Nagoya, the Royal Ballet of Wallonia, the Ballet du Nord, and the Euroballet in Luxembourg. Each experience has reinforced my belief that dance is a universal language, a means of connecting with oneself and others beyond cultural boundaries.
Alongside my stage career, I have developed my own personal choreographic style, blending classical and neoclassical heritage with Eastern influences and research into anti-gravity movement. For me, creating a choreography is like telling a story: a story about the body, emotion, and transformation. Each work is conceived as a bridge between technique and sensitivity, between tradition and contemporary expression.
Drawing on my teaching experience, I have developed a progressive teaching method in 10 levels, designed to reveal the artistic and human potential of each student, whether amateur or aspiring professional. This method combines technical rigour, listening to the body, musical awareness and personal development, to make dance a true path to growth and inner liberation.
Finally, transmission is at the heart of my commitment. I have created a variety of teaching tools—books, educational cards, notebooks, worksheets, online training courses—to support students, choreographers, and teachers in their journey. Through teaching, creation, and transmission, I defend a global vision of dance: a demanding, deeply human art form capable of opening new paths for everyone.
Léonilde Torrini
Dancer, choreographer, and multidisciplinary performer Léonilde Torrini comes from a family of artists and elite athletes. Trained in multiple disciplines—from classical dance to parkour, tricking, tutting, and popping—he has developed a unique, powerful, and sensitive stage presence.
Invited to join the ISDanse-Suisse troupe in 2007, he has made a name for himself with performances combining urban arts, acrobatics, oriental dance, and pole dancing, notably alongside Sohaleila (Margaret Torrini), with whom he has performed as far afield as Las Vegas.
In 2015, he met Yera, with whom he formed a stage and life duo. Together, they create original choreographic pieces, perform in Switzerland and internationally, teach their method in workshops, and participate in prestigious competitions and festivals.
Semi-finalists on La France a un Incroyable Talent (Season 15), they continue to dance despite Yera’s illness, which she faces with moving strength. Their art, imbued with love and resilience, touches hearts and celebrates the power of life in all its fragility.
Tribute to Yera Moreno
Yera Moreno was much more than a dancer. She was flame, breath, and silence. She was the stage and life partner of my son, Léonilde Torrini. Together, they formed a rare duo, where grace met strength, and where each movement carried the memory of connection, listening, and love, in a new form of contemporary dance duet.
It was in Geneva that their paths crossed. Two souls united by contemporary and urban dance, which they explored in depth until they obtained their CFC side by side. Very quickly, their artistic complicity took them far beyond the schools: finalists in Incroyable Talent in Switzerland, France, and Spain, they thrilled audiences and hearts, holding high their art and their truth. Yera was light. She had that rare presence that transforms the stage into a place of truth. She danced with the world, with inner fire, with tenderness of gesture. They are semi-finalists on the show “La France a un Incroyable Talent” Season 15 on M6.
Her passing on December 25, 2024, at the age of 24, leaves a huge void, but also an indelible mark in the hearts of those who saw her dance, love, and share her passion. Through Léonilde, through every memory, every image, and every
silence, Yera continues to dance.
This website, these classes, this path we are tracing—all of this pays tribute to her,
humbly, with gratitude and love.
Thank you, Yera, for the woman and dancer you were.
