A ballet troupe is a group of dancers who perform ballet, a highly technical form of dance characterized by its graceful movements and precise techniques. These troupes can vary in size, from small ensembles to large companies, and often include both male and female dancers. They perform a variety of works, including classical ballets like Swan Lake and contemporary pieces. Ballet troupes typically have a director or choreographer who creates and oversees the performances. Many troupes also provide training for aspiring dancers, helping them develop their skills in ballet techniques. Some well-known ballet troupes include the Bolshoi Ballet and the Royal Ballet.
