Abstract

This article assumes the anthropological perspective of Levi-Strauss to explore the significant constructions that pujilense society. These authors place their gaze on the relationship between the natural and the symbolic construction carried out by the subjects; intention that is demonstrated from the senses added to the dance that in the definition of Danzante as subjects who escape into the religious-cultural atmosphere to narrate their pre-Columbian history. Such events continue today in the mountainous region of Ecuador. And they are worthy of socializing to preserve the culture. The Pujilí dancer reveals a lot about Ecuadorian culture: his clothing, his steps, his music and his social context tell us about the history, beliefs and values of a people. They show us how dance is a fundamental element of Ecuadorian culture, and how it can be used to transmit deep and meaningful messages. To preserve the Pujilí dancer, it is important to promote its teaching and dissemination. Young people's participation in dance should be encouraged, and research into dance and its meaning should be supported.
