Run The Flex Reviews 

The miniflex is a wonderful program. My son Ollie is really enjoying the class. He loves learning new dance moves and being able to practice them through the DropBox videos. That is very helpful. He i... Read full review

I chose to send my son to Run the Flex because I like the vibe of the studio. I like that it’s hip-hop-based. Not like other studios that have more of a contemporary dance feel. We were at a different dance studio before and...

My son really enjoys learning the new dance moves weekly. He really loves to dance and enjoys performing in front of an audience. This is something he particularly enjoyed - the holiday performance. He’s looking forward to t...

Both Ollie and I have gained new friendships in the class. It’s been so fun getting to know the kids and the parents. It feels like a small dance community. There hasn’t been any bullying or issues with inclusion, I think ...

My son has learned many new dance moves that he practices at home daily. He’s really motivated and passionate about dancing. It’s interesting to see him grow and learn. Again, I wish he had a more intensive class but money...

The staff does a pretty good job communicating with us. Tanya makes herself available before and after class to answer questions we might have about the program or upcoming performances. There haven’t necessarily been confli...

I don’t really have much advice to give to the program. Again maybe just a suggestion of different music from different eras but Tanya is already doing that. And then just the suggestion/offering of my husband putting togeth...

Both my children had a really great time at Run The Flex. The instructors were fun, engaging, and helpful, and the activities during the summer camp were educational and unique. My daughters love to d... Read full review

I started attending classes at RTF first and then when I saw the opportunity to enroll my kids I jumped at the opportunity. The location is fairly central and easy to access, the staff is wonderful, and they wanted to take dan...

The camp itinerary was provided in advance and totally matched my expectations and my children's interests. My daughter particularly enjoyed the graffiti lesson but she reported loving all the activities and had great things t...

My daughter strengthened an existing friendship because she enrolled with someone that she already knew. I know that she got along with other participants while she was there and never reported, and issues with any of the othe...

My child gained knowledge about hip-hop culture, techniques for creating graffiti art, practice with rhyming/beat boxing, and much more. She had the opportunity to engage with other kids and collaborate with others throughout ...

All the instructors at the summer camp greeted participants with big smiles and an enthusiastic attitude. They seemed to get along and work well with one another which provided a good example for the kids to emulate. The staff...

Go check out the space yourself! It's a really welcoming studio. Take a class, talk to the receptionist, ask management who the camp instructors will be, and look them up! I knew everything I needed to before sending my child ...

My son is always ready to go to dance class on Saturday mornings. He is learning a lot and growing as a performer. He is the youngest in the hip-hop crew by several years but has always felt welcomed ... Read full review

My son has done hip-hop classes since he was six, and he always did well and enjoyed it. However, I found those schools were not offering a level of seriousness or discipline in terms of coming to class, participating to the b...

The school provides intensive training once a week on Saturdays. The class is an hour and then an hour for the students who auditioned to be in the dance crew. The students are learning steps and routines constantly. The schoo...

No issues of bullying whatsoever. My son is very outgoing but in this class, he is the youngest and the only male so he was a bit nervous. But his classmates have been friendly and supportive! He has been able to join in chat...

His hip-hop skills are very good. He is learning more complicated sequences with fast footwork and full-body movements. The focus on musicality is also important. They do patterns across the stage as well. Confidence being on ...

Staff has always been friendly and responsive. Interactions started with auditioning for the crew--which was fairly nerve-wracking for my son. But the staff were warm and made it a comfortable environment. They are very good w...

I don’t really have any tips or advice to offer - this is an ongoing dance class from Sept to June so not similar to a camp experience.

We have had a lot of experience with dance schools - our 14-year-old daughter has been dancing since she was 3 years old. Since we found Run the Flex, our daughter has never been more excited to go t... Read full review

We were looking for a new dance school for our 14-year-old daughter and were attracted to Run the Flex’s focus on hip-hop, the central Toronto location (Yonge/Bloor), Saturday practices, and competitive teams. The fees are ...

We knew that Run the Flex had a hip-hop focus. But since our daughter started her Saturday practices, we’ve been delighted to see her also exposed to breakdancing, Afro, and core technique--often by special guest teachers. ...

The social dynamics have been really excellent. After her first 2 hour practice, our daughter was talking about everyone in her group as her new best friends. She looks forward to practice every week. There have been absolutel...

Our daughter has really grown as a dancer at Run the Flex - both her hip-hop technique and confidence are blossoming. She is doing more formal performances than at her previous schools - once at a festival and once in a video ...

Aaron and his team of instructors are supportive, kind, and responsible with their students, but also push them to excel. Run the Flex has great communication through email about fees, upcoming practices, and performances. I...

My principal advice would be to recommend Run the Flex highly for all young dancers who want to focus on hip-hop. One warning though - parking right next to the studio may be difficult. Our daughter is old enough to take tra...

Hip-hop dance is a ton of fun—it fills my kids with so much joy that they are able to lose their self-consciousness and truly be themselves, even for my younger daughter who is quite shy. When I had... Read full review

I like that the camp is more than a traditional dance camp. It offers a rare opportunity to explore the richness and joy of hip-hop culture, which nurtures so many different kinds of artistic expression—movement, musicality,...

The itinerary completely matched our expectations. We loved the show at the end!! The kids were so proud to show what they learned. I was pleasantly surprised by the way quality of instructors —really talented and respected ...

There were lots of opportunities for the kids to build friendships through collaboration, group activity, partner work, etc. Performing together is also a very connecting activity and a nice social experience for kids to have....

The camp and weekly programming have fostered a love of music and dance, which they did not develop from other dance forms. Hip-hop dance is especially nurturing of creativity because it emphasizes self-expression over conform...

During the summer camp, the Staff was very supportive of my daughter. The staff were fun, friendly, approachable, attentive, non-judgmental, compassionate, and knew how to work with children. The same goes for the weekly progr...

Price point is very good. Affordable but quality programming. Research the studio to get a sense of its friendly and inclusive environment and culture. It will be the same at the camps. It’s great that there’s the opti...
