Besides its military meaning, the word troupe is a term traditionally used to refer to a group of dancers, actors, or other entertainers (such as minstrelsy or Christy's performers) who tour to different venues.

In Cape Town to this day the individual groups participating in the annual Cape Minstrel Carnival are still referred to as troupes" (or troepe in Afrikaans).
