This kind of folk dance is closely related to the cultural roots of a community, whose practice is done more by inheritance of tradition from generation to generation, that innovation. The cultural richness of our country, concocted by the socio-historical processes is represented through the body: rituals that express the symbolic force of events or events that marked their future.
