A dance troupe is a group of dancers who perform together, often showcasing a variety of dance styles. These groups can range from professional companies to community ensembles, and they may focus on genres such as ballet, contemporary, jazz, or hip-hop. Dance troupes often participate in competitions, festivals, and public performances, allowing them to share their art with audiences. Members of a dance troupe typically train together, developing their skills and choreography as a cohesive unit. They may work with choreographers to create original pieces or perform established works. Notable examples of dance troupes include the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and the Royal Ballet.
