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 to develop their skills and create cohesive performances. They may work with choreographers to design routines that highlight their strengths and tell a story. Notable examples of dance troupes include the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and the Royal Ballet.
