Tony Duncan 1st Place Adult Division 2011 Hoop Dance Championship

Four-time teen champion Tony Duncan (Apache/Hidatsa/Arikara/Mandan) of Mesa, Arizona, captured his first adult title at the 21st Annual Heard Museum Hoop Dance Championship Contest on February 6. In fact, four brothers from the Duncan family won or placed during the world championship. An estimated audience of 10,000 came to cheer on one or more of their favorites from a roster of 43 hoop dancers from the U.S. and Canada. The Jay Kahn Memorial Fund sponsors the youth competition prizes and the Arizona Commission on the Arts is a supporter of the contest.
