Mariner = sailor + a = Marinera
Marinera is the national dance of Peru.

Matelota
From the French word matelot: sailor or matelote:sailor's wife. This dance was once a men's dance from Lapurdi. At some point it in the 20th century it was re-choreographed for women. Baskets of fish were added as props and it has come to represent life in a Basque fishing village.
