Huoi Ai is preserving many unique traditional cultural features, including the Khen dance, with the Tha Khung dance, the Senh Tien dance, a harmonious combination of jumping, dancing, juggling and unique sounds from the stick, modeled after the movements and gestures in the labor and production of the people. Currently, the Khen dance, Tha Khung dance, and Senh Tien dance are always used by the people in the village to perform in exchange programs with other villages and communes.
Households in Huoi Ai village still preserve many traditional musical instruments such as drums, gongs, flutes, and leaf pipes. Especially the senh tien stick, a musical instrument made from bamboo trunks, 5 to 7cm in diameter, about 1m long, dried in the kitchen, divided into four parts, of which three parts have holes for threading coins, the remaining part is for the dancer to hold when performing. The two ends of the stick are tied with colorful threads to create a soft, eye-catching look. Among the Mong ethnic musical instruments, the senh tien stick is used in both funerals and festivals.
As a Mong Do costume, the costumes of the Huoi Ai people have the main colors of red and blue and the decorative motifs are embroidered on white or colored linen.

Women's costumes include skirts, shirts, bibs, leggings, belts with colorful motifs, attached with coins... Every family member has one or two beautiful sets to wear on important occasions; on normal days, when working in production, Mong men and women use industrial fabrics with printed motifs similar to hand embroidery, but the weight of the costumes is lighter.
