American Dance Troupe

American Dance Troupe is a non-profit organization located at 14855 Clayton Road in Chesterfield, Missouri. Founded in 1982, this ensemble offers young dancers in the community the opportunity to showcase their talent in various dance styles such as ballet, tap, jazz, modern/contemporary, and musical theater. Under the direction of Artistic Director Mark Krupinski, dancers of all ages and skill levels come together to create beautifully choreographed performances.

Membership into the troupe is determined through open auditions for male and female dancers between the ages of 8 and 18. Rehearsals take place on Saturdays and Sundays at the Krupinski Academy of Dance in Chesterfield, with performances held at the Skip Viragh Center for the Arts Theatre in St. Louis.

Each dancer is responsible for yearly membership dues, which may include some provided costumes. Additional costumes or accessories may need to be provided by the dancers themselves for certain numbers. With a commitment to excellence and dedication to the art of dance, American Dance Troupe provides a platform for young dancers to shine on stage.
