This text aims to determine in what way the teaching of Peruvian folk dances could be considered a practice of cultural appropriation in Lima today. The tentative answer to this is that their teaching can become cultural appropriation today in the capital; because it would be an extraction of the dance from its social historical context that values it only on an aesthetic and commercial level, thus perpetuating the social inequality between the extractor and the community that created the dance. To determine the validity of this hypothesis, historical evidence such as the Peruvian colonization, Independence and Republic are taken. These demonstrate the permanent manipulation of our cultural diversity by the different power groups of each stage, at the cost of constant ethnic-racial discrimination. In turn, it is explained that this fact originated the interest in teaching folk dances in Lima and how this, from its beginnings, was a controversial issue regarding its “authenticity”. The possibilities of taking folk dances as a tool to repair social gaps in the face of racism and ethnocentrism perpetuated since the colony are also debated. On the other hand, the influence of capitalism and globalization is presented in the perpetuation of social inequality, impoverishment and invisibility of the original collectivities. This occurs due to the ease of commercialization, manipulation and instrumentalization of the cultural manifestations of these communities; which is caused by a lack of protection policies for their cultural heritage. Faced with this, the practice of intercultural principles that allow the equal exchange of cultural diversity and the implementation of laws specially designed for the understanding and protection of heritage is proposed.
