Who Are the DWTS Troupe Members
The DWTS troupe is a group of professional dancers who perform on Dancing with the Stars. They are not paired with a celebrity partner but instead dance in group numbers, solos, and ensemble routines. Their role is to elevate the choreography and provide consistent stage energy throughout each episode.
Roles and Responsibilities
Troupe members rehearse weekly with the show's choreographers and perform in opening numbers, transitions, and specialty acts. They often showcase styles such as Latin, ballroom, jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary. Because they are not tied to a single celebrity, they can focus on precision, stamina, and clean execution of complex formations.
Background and Selection
Most troupe dancers are working professionals with competitive dance experience, Broadway credits, or prior television appearances. Casting typically prioritizes versatility, stage presence, and the ability to adapt to different choreographers. Some former troupe members later return as celebrity partners or professional dancers on the show.
