The idea of the song "Dance with the wolves" includes big social issue.

Ruslana:

Huge concrete press was made with the purpose of being used in the video, and is being pushed by the crowd.

Ruslana:

Gigantic decorations were used for the purpose of shooting the video. Stage decorations were performed in the shape of the cage. Huge 5 meter wheel and 4 meter press were pushed by the aggressive crowd and added up to the scenery. To make the video more realistic, all the scenes with wild animals were shot with out much standing by. Ruslana and few big wolves were not even separated by the cage, and even though the trainer was standing nearby, he did not interfere in the events.

There was news announcement that Ruslana was bitten by the wolves. Information was not without grounds but a bit exaggerated-the wolf once grappled Ruslana. It is important to note that none of the animals was hurt during the shooting. When Ruslana became an active participant of "Orange Revolution", the idea to add documentary frames that hold the attention of the whole world to the video sounded very vital. Moreover, the including of materials both linked with the "art" and "documentary" idea of the video: the idea of freedom should not contain lies and insincerity.

Ruslana:

Second part of the shooting was taking place at Maidan Nezalezhnosti. We were shooting the people who were striking to be heard. Protecting their freedom. You will also see the "megaphone of freedom"-one of the symbols.
