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!
