Born in France, Margaux began her training at the Nantes Conservatory and at the age of 15, she moved to Paris to enrol the Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory, and two years later, at the National Conservatory of Music and Dance. She completed her training in the internship program of the Het Nationale Ballet Academy.
She began her professional career at the National Opera of Bucharest, where she participated in the most significant classical ballets: Le Corsaire, Swan Lake, Don Quixote, The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, The Nutcracker, and La Bayadère; in soloist roles sucha as Odalisque, Mercedes, Kitri’s friends or large swans, among others). The work of neoclassical choreographers such as Renato Zanella and Davide Bombana marked the beginning of her interest in contemporary movement. Carmina Burana, Romeo and Juliet, and The Rite of Spring are productions in which she plays soloist roles. Her contemporary vision was broadened when Richard Wherlock chose her to play the lead role of Golda in Fiddler on the Roof.
At the beginning of 2024, she joined the SNG Ljubljana ballet (Slovenia), directed by Renato Zanella, where she performed in Giselle, Sleeping Beauty, and a contemporary version of The Little Prince by José Carlos Martínez.
In November 2024, she joined the Compañía Nacional de Danza, under the artistic direction of Muriel Romero.
