COMPETITIVE HIP HOP + STREET DANCE
FOR
KIDS & TEENS in midtown

Join a Run The Flex Competitive Crew!

2025-2026 AUDITIONS
Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Ages 6 - 8: 4-5 PM
Ages 9 - 12: 5-6 PM
Ages 13 - 18: 6 -7 PM

We offer competitive Hip Hop crews for dancers ages 6 to 18. These crews are designed to help young dancers level up their Hip Hop and Street Dance skills in a fun, challenging, and supportive environment. Along the way, they’ll build confidence, learn the value of teamwork, and form lasting friendships.

Our mission is to create a space where every dancer feels seen, supported, and empowered to grow — both on and off the dance floor. Whether your child is new to competing or looking to push their skills further, we’re committed to making their experience meaningful and inspiring.

Dancers train 2 to 6+ hours per week, depending on their crew level. Auditions are mandatory.

Our season runs from September 2025 - June 2026.

hey, we’re aaron & nicole

Welcome to Run The Flex (RTF), we’re Aaron and Nicole, Toronto-based dance artists (and proud new parents ourselves)! We’re so excited to have you here as part of our community.

Before opening our doors at 893 Yonge Street, RTF started as a passion project where we taught hundreds of students how to feel confident and have fun while dancing. After teaming up with one of our longtime students, Lisa Heath, RTF officially opened in January 2023, and we’ve been building something special ever since!

We’re beyond proud that RTF has become a central hub for dancers of all ages in the heart of Toronto, creating a space where everyone can feel like they belong.

With Hip Hop and Street Dance at our core, we’re passionate about preserving the cultural roots of Hip Hop while offering a variety of dance styles and levels. Our classes and programs are designed to nurture their growth, confidence, and creativity of all dancers.

We can't wait to see you in the studio!
Aaron & Nicole, RTF Co-Founders

We are located at 893 Yonge Street, 2nd Floor, Toronto, ON.
