My dance teacher said that we aren't supposed to flex because it builds thigh muscle that aren't supposed to be built and I was just wondering if that's true. If you flex while working out, does that build muscle?

Good question, this is both true and untrue. Your dance teacher is right in the fact that she said that it builds muscle, if you do it A LOT (Iam talking about hours of hard flexing a day). This was the basis behind Charles Atlas' programs he would sell in the back of comic books in the 40's, 50's and 60's. This style of training is called Dynamic Tension. It is very good to flex whether you are working out or just sitting around, it helps to really polish off the muscle and helps push out a lot of water and other toxins beneath the skin. I doubt you are flexing enough for this to be an issue, especially in such a big muscle group like the quads.
