Ten centuries ago, Xoe was a popular dance performed on the occasion of the establishment of the hamlets and villages or during the festivals of the Thai ethnic people. Now, it has developed into 36 dances and has become the symbol of solidarity among the ethnic groups in the northwest.
Muong So, homeland of Xoe dance of the Thai ethnic group
According to the legend of the Thai people in the northwest, in the 10th century, Lac Truong, the chief of the Muong Lo area (in Yen Bai Province today), led the villagers to Muong So area (in Phong Tho District, Lai Chau Province today) to reclaim land for farming and building their hamlets. It was the place where the Xoe dance of the Thai people in the northwest originated.
Initially, the Xoe dance was performed by the boys and girls in the hamlets, who held hands to form a circle and danced together. The musical instruments for the dance included gourd lutes, drums, two-chord fiddles, gongs and cymbals.
