A circus troupe is a group of performers who work together in a circus—acrobats, clowns, aerialists, animal trainers, and the like.
The term emphasizes the collective: The circus troupe traveled from town to town.
Troupe suggests a tight-knit company with shared skills and traditions, often multigenerational.
