What is the El Cocodrilo Dante dance?
This version puts three dancers in a room rather than on a stage. The center dancer stands slightly ahead, with another person on each side. Their coordinated gestures, little steps and glances at each other give the clip its playful feel. The person on the left wears a colorful apron, making that position especially easy to recognize.
El Cocodrilo Dante is a useful name for finding the dance; Los Maravillas identifies this particular trio's version. The hashtag alone is less specific because the account uses it on other posts too. If you saw the apron, the dark Chicago sweatshirt or the three friends dancing at home, this is the template to look for.
Where does this version come from, and what is the sound?
The reference is Axcel Maravilla's TikTok post, published by @axcelm5. Its caption jokes that David could not wait to do the dance. This identifies the supplied post; it does not establish who first created the wider dance trend.
TikTok links that post to “sonido original” by Eco 26, @ecojh26. The sound page associates it with El Cocodrilo Dante. The song name behind that phrase is El Baile de los Animales, credited to Dúo Tiempo de Sol. The precise recording or remix used in the TikTok upload has not been confirmed. Your vswp video keeps the template's existing audio, so you do not need to select a song separately.
Which people can you replace?
The prepared video runs for 30 seconds and offers three people. Choose them by the original dancer's appearance and thumbnail:
- Left: the dancer in a light top, backward light cap, colorful apron and gray shorts.
- Center: the dancer in a dark Chicago sweatshirt and loose light pants, standing nearest the camera.
- Right: the bearded dancer in a light cap, dark outer layer and shorts, with white shoes.
Add your photo only to the position you want. You can take the center and leave both original companions, replace two people, or make a version with all three friends. Empty photo slots keep the corresponding original people. Check the thumbnails before starting; a dancer turning sideways is still the same role.

Which photos suit this trio?
Use sharp photos with even light and an uncovered face. These dancers are shown almost head to toe, so a full-body photo helps if you want your own clothing and silhouette. Avoid group photos: separate images make it clear which friend belongs in each position. Ask friends before using their photos, and use video and images you have the right to use.
The dancers move their hands in front of their bodies and turn their heads. Check likeness and hands in the preview; generative AI can change small details during fast movement. A hat or heavily shadowed face in the reference photo can make recognition harder. See the photo guide before choosing a replacement image.
