Abstract

The main objective of this study was to analyze intergenerational relationships through the Turas dance in families of the population of Mapararí, municipality of the Federation, state of Falcón. The paradigm is positivist, descriptive, field design, non- experimental and transactional or transversal. The sample is made up of 30 inhabitants of the community who participate in the dance. The techniques used were direct observation and structured interview. The questionnaire was used as an instrument, subject to expert judgment validity and Cronbach's Alpha reliability with a value of 0.790 (high reliability). Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis, presenting data with simple frequency and the mean. It was concluded that the family groups that participate in the Turas dance develop; good communication, harmony, dedication, solidarity and values in favor of intergenerational relationships. The preservation of the dance las Turas is present in family groups through its transcendence as a tradition and custom from generation to generation, constituting a nexus of the inhabitants, especially through oral transmission by predecessor teachers such as older adults. The preservation of this dance at a family and government level with the central participation of the elderly is recommended.
