Below you'll find an overview of the troupes of Aria, or you can click here for comprehensive details on the troupes.
Troupes are divisions of the Aria student body, each one with its own guiding principles and history. Remember trainees, you are allowed to select your own troupes. Pick the troupe you want to grow into and with. It is not a troupe's responsibility to accommodate you, it is your responsibility to rise to their standard.
