SUMMARY:East Side Dance Festival Teacher Training Conference
DESCRIPTION:“Kicking Up a Fuss”  \nDance as a Catylyst for Social Justice \nThis 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. \nWe 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. \nIn 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. \nFollowing 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. \nWe 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.

SUMMARY:IDD 2026: Contemporary dance class with Good Women Dance Collective
DESCRIPTION:Event link https://goodwomen.ca/classes/ \nLocation: Shumka Dance Centre\, 10515 111 st NW\, Edmonton \nDate: April 30\, 10-11:30 \nGWDC’s training program includes ongoing weekly company classes\, instructed by collective artists and local guest artists. These classes foster a sense of community for practicing professionals\, something valued in a province that feels isolated from other artistic hubs in the country. The classes anchor the collective and allow the artists to discover common interests in terms of physicality and movement qualities. Classes are consistently attended by both professional artists and members of the broader arts community\, meaning that this training benefits the talented and committed pool of professional dance artists in the community. GWDS instructors use body neutral\, judgment-free terminology and do not teach gendered roles to participants. \n  \n@Good Women Dance

SUMMARY:Flamenco … at the Yardbird … at the DJD Dance Centre
DESCRIPTION:A collaboration between Flamenco dancers – Claire Marchand\, Jane Ogilvie and Rosanna Terracciano \n“WOW…simply\, utterly. Such a rich and diverse production of flamenco components. We were enthralled. ” \nFollowing a sold-out 2025 tour\, this vibrant Flamenco ensemble takes to the stage with returning special guests – Spanish Flamenco singer and percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi” and Vancouver Flamenco guitarist Peter Mole – for an intimate\, dynamic evening of live flamenco dance\, guitar\, piano\, rhythm and song. \nFlamenco dancers Claire Marchand (Winnipeg/Vancouver)\, Jane Ogilvie (Edmonton/Calgary) and Rosanna Terracciano (Calgary) have explored their own creative trajectories since meeting years ago as emerging dancers. Now\, as established artists\, each has played an integral role in establishing a Flamenco presence in Western Canada. Their paths have crossed as artists\, colleagues\, and friends in many ways over the years. In 2023 they decided it was time to formally create a project where they would have the chance to collaborate. \nTheir first project “Flamenco at the Yardbird” was presented to a sold out Edmonton audience in 2024 with invited guests; Vancouver Flamenco guitarist Peter Mole\, and Spanish Flamenco singer Celedonio Garrido. In 2025 they returned to the Yardbird for two nights\, with a new program including returning guitarist Peter Mole and new guest Spanish Flamenco singer/percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi” – taking the show on the road to their hometowns of Calgary\, Edmonton\, and Winnipeg\, to rave reviews. \nThe 2026 tour brings an all new program of music and dance to Calgary\, Edmonton\, and Winnipeg. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nFrancisco Orozco “Yiyi” (Song/Percussion) is from an Andalusian family. Born in Barcelona\, he was introduced to Flamenco rhythms at the tender age of four and was trained by his father\, Flamenco singer “Joselón de Jerez”. He began his professional career at the age of twelve and performs internationally. \nClaire Marchand (Dance)\, known for her theatrical\, singular style\, has performed across Canada and internationally. \nPeter Mole’s (Guitar) raw yet lyrical guitar style comes alive when accompanying dance. He recently released his debut album “La Luna y el Viento.” \nJane Ogilvie (Dance\, Piano) is a 2023 recipient of the Edmonton Artist’s Trust Fund Award for dance and a lifelong pianist. \nRosanna Terracciano (Dance)\, winner of the Jacqueline Lemieux Prize\, has been presented throughout Canada and Europe\, including at the Bienal de Flamenco (Seville).
