East Side Dance Festival Teacher Training Conference
2026-01-22 09:00 - 2026-01-23 17:00
“Kicking Up a Fuss”
Dance as a Catylyst for Social Justice
This year’s conference theme is inspired by two powerful documentary films that explore the historic court case of Charles Daniels, a civil rights activist who was denied his theatre seat in 1914 simply for being Black. The case was brought against James A. Lougheed and W.B. Sherman, owner and manager of Calgary’s Sherman Grand Theatre.
We are honoured to welcome Cheryl Foggo—local historian, author, and filmmaker—who will present her documentary Kicking Up a Fuss: The Charles Daniels Story. Featuring original transcripts, archival images, and other primary sources, this film reminds us that Alberta’s history is shaped by often-overlooked, yet deeply inspiring heroes.
In the follow-up film, We Call Him Sir Charles, produced by the Grand Theatre, Calgary’s Poet Laureate Wakefield Brewster, and professional tap dancer Lisa La Touche offer personal reflections on Daniels’ legacy through spoken word and dance. Directed by Cheryl Foggo and with cinematography by Joel Varjassy, this moving tribute celebrates Charles Daniels’ courage and enduring impact.
Following the screenings, a panel discussion with all three artists will delve into their creative processes and explore how Alberta’s history continues to shape our collective identity.
We hope this year’s offerings—including the documentary screenings, keynote address, networking opportunities, and a diverse lineup of instructors and speakers—will energize your teaching practice, enrich your professional toolkit, and provide tangible, socially conscious resources to elevate your dance pedagogy.
