Movimiento e interacción social entre personas adultas mayores en espacios de danza

Abstract

This essay includes a story based on the dance that since ancient times was already performed in one way or another where the living were showing their way of life day after day, always keeping them together as a people and family. Dance involves body movements that give meaning to each movement made by the body, which, at the same time, express the culture and tradition of an entire people, country and region from which they come. Starting from this theoretical vision, the essay studies the creation and practices of the dance group of older adults in the Pre Cooperativa Pioneros del Oriente, in the province of Sucumbíos, where the practice of dance in the group has allowed the older adults foster love for our culture, generate better social relationships and keep them physically and mentally active.
