Caiman Dance: Colombian Carnival Tradition by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Caimán Cineaguero Dance originates from Ciénaga, Magdalena, Colombia, and is based on a 19th-century legend about a caiman that ate a girl named Tomasita on her birthday. The dance involves parallel lines of dancers and a person dressed as a caiman swaying in the center. The dancers keep the rhythm with claps and feet while singers chant verses about the legend.
