“Jakhue” in Lahu means “dancing”. It is a ritualisticdance and a gesture to worship the Lahu sacred entities, which are the spirits and God Kue Sha. The dance was derived from beliefs and rituals related to the ethnic livelihood. It is now integrated into many rituals, such as, the ‘New Year ritual’to celebrate the start of a new year, the ‘harvest ritual’ associated with agriculture, and the ‘soul calling ritual’, which relates to healing. Times have changed and education is playing a more significant role in the life of this ethnic group, and this dance is now performed in different occasions. For instance, this dance is generally performed in a special dance courtyard, whereas the dance to welcome guests is performed in the public courtyard of the village. Participants wear traditional ethnic clothings. There are five pieces of musical instruments, which include small, medium and large Khaen woodwind instruments, a Sueng string instrument, and a flute, respectively. In the‘welcoming guest rituals’, the large Khaen is excluded. Presently, there are 23 Jakhue songs with 83 postures. The dance postures express love, warmth, and group unity.
