19th Annual World Championship Hoop Dance Contest
The Heard Museum. Central Ave. & Encanto Blvd. Phoenix, Arizona

All are welcome! Rain or Shine!

Gates Hours: 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Grand Entries: 9:30 a.m. both days.
Competition will end at approximately 5 p.m. on Saturday. The Adult final round will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Thrill to the excitement as more than 70 dancers from throughout the U.S. and Canada vie for the nation's most prestigious hoop dancing prize. Food, frybread and shopping round out this event.

First-time adult champion Brian Hammill, Ho Chunk, 39, of New River, Arizona is expected to return and defend his title against Charles Denny, Chippewa/Cree/Ute, 19, from Fort Duchesne, Utah, the 2008 champion. Also, look for seasoned competitors and crowd favorites as Derrick Davis, Hopi/Choctaw; Nakotah La Rance, Hopi/Tewa, from Flagstaff, Arizona; Alex Wells, Lil Wat First Nation, of Morley, Alberta; and Lisa Odjig, Odawa/Ojibwe, from Wikemiking, Ontario. The winners will take home their share of more than $30,000 in prize money. (Final competitor list will be available on Saturday, February 13 at the event.) Hoop dance fans from across the U.S., Canada and Europe are already making plans to cheer their favorite dancer on to glory.

Other categories of competition include Tiny Tot (under 5 years), Youth (5 to 12), Teen (13 to 17) and Senior (40 and older).

 Visitors can enjoy dance performances as well as delicious fry bread and other American Indian foods. Held on the museum grounds, admission to the museum is included.

For many years, the intertribal hoop dance has expanded to incorporate new and creative designs and extremely intricate footwork. Each dancer presents a unique variation of the intertribal hoop dance, weaving in aspects of his or her distinct tradition and culture. Individual routines are presented using as few as four to as many as 50 hoops, which are manipulated to create a variety of designs including animals, butterflies and globes. Dancers are judged based on five skills – precision, timing/rhythm, showmanship, creativeness and speed. In recent years, younger competitors are incorporating modern dance steps like hip-hop into their routines. No matter which steps a hoop dancer wields, however, she or he is dancing in the footsteps of Tony Whitecloud, founder of the modern hoop dance.

Admission: Per Day (includes event and museum admission): $10 general admission, $9 seniors (65+), $7 American Indians, $3 for children age 4-12, FREE for children under 4.

Sealaska Heritage Institute Celebration, Juneau, Alaska

Sealaska Heritage Institute's biennial Juried Art Show and Competition will debut June 2. Please check back for more information.

Celebration is a biennial festival of Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian tribal members organized every two years by Sealaska Heritage Institute.

Event began in 1982, born of SHI's Board of Trustees' desire to celebrate and showcase Southeast Alaska Native traditions and customs. Since that time, Celebration has become an effective and energetic vehicle for encouraging individuals, families, clans and communities to participate in traditional song and dance, arts and crafts, and the revitalization of Native languages.

It is one of the largest gatherings of Southeast Alaska Native peoples and is the second largest event sponsored by Alaska Natives in the State of Alaska.

Hotels sometimes fill up soon after this date is released, so SHI encourages people to book rooms early.
