COMPETITIVE HIP HOP CREWS
AUDITION FOR THE 2026/2027 SEASON
We offer Competitive Hip Hop Crews for dancers ages 9–18, built for those who are ready to train with purpose, perform with confidence, and grow inside a high-energy, team-driven environment.
Our focus is Hip Hop and Street Dance, led by an elite team of industry professionals who provide authentic, high-quality education rooted in both movement and culture. Dancers are challenged technically while developing performance quality, discipline, and real teamwork. Along the way, they build confidence, strengthen their work ethic, and form genuine connections with their team.
Our mission is simple: to create a space where dancers feel supported, challenged, and inspired to grow — not just as dancers, but as individuals.
Whether your child is stepping into competition for the first time or ready to take their training to the next level, our goal is to make the experience unforgettable.
Auditions for the 2026/2027 season will be held on Saturday, May 23rd from 10am - 12pm at Run The Flex (893 Yonge Street, 2nd Floor). Space is limited.

COMPETITIVE CREWS
We currently offer two age divisions within our Competitive Hip Hop Program:
Future Ops – Ages 9–12
Varsity Ops – Ages 13–18
Our crews are built around commitment, growth, and training intensity, with hours that vary depending on age group, team placement, and training pathway.
Competitive training ranges from 3 to 5 hours per week, depending on the dancer’s level, team assignment, and season structure.
Dancers are accepted based on readiness, commitment, and dance development goals.
As our programming continues to expand, additional training streams may be introduced to further support different commitment levels.
