Dancer Ding Dong has collaborated with Elephant Man for the music video of new dance move and song 'Do The Right Thing'. The dance was created by Ravers Clavers dancer Mundo Ravers, and according to group leader Ding Dong,they wanted an unorthodox concept.

The video was filmed at Helshire Beach in Portmore and featured Boysie Roses, Kiss Kiss and the Japanese dancers, Queen Latesha, Famous, Colour Squad, Mad Syentist among others.

On set, the dancers and Elephant Man erected a home-made stage in the sea, on which they performed the dance move in a rather dangerous but creative fashion.

"We came up with the concept through Elephant Man - he said he wanted to go on water top because he always has some cazy ideas. So I linked up with Squeechie from Hellshire and he helped us to make something so we can dance on it and let it seem as if we are dancing on the water top. This has never happened in dancehall before and when people see this video it is going to linger in their minds," Ding Dong said.

Ding Dong also said the Do The Right Thing dance move will be the dance of the festive season and early 2015.

"Do The Right Thing a Mundo make it and it's picking up right now. Ravers Clavers has been working hard with the other dancers to put back dancing on the forefront. So we are pushing a number of dances. That's why we come with Syva and Shampoo and big up Kreech Out Deh to because that is a major hit as well," he said.

Elephant Man said both song and dance are hits in the dancehall.

"Right now radio a guh hard wid it. Everybody a sey Ele yu find it. The people dem wah dance and we a give dem dance music because a we do that the best. As for the video, Jamaica never see nothing like this," Elephant Man said.
