Dangerous and Moving

Dangerous and Moving is the second English-language (third overall) studio album by Russian musical group t.A.T.u. and the English-language equivalent of the album Lyudi Invalidy ("People with disabilities"). The album was first released on 5 October 2005 in Japan then on 10 October in the United Kingdom, 11 October in North America, and in Europe and Latin America, on 14 October.

On 10 October 2025, to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the album, a remastered deluxe edition was released digitally, including bonus tracks and remixes. On the same day, the album's Russian version was released worldwide on all streaming platforms for the first time ever, since it was previously available only in few countries, excluding Russia and Belarus due to Universal Music Group suspending their operations in those countries back in 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Production on Dangerous and Moving spanned from Los Angeles to London and Moscow. There were two notable recording sessions with the record's producer, Sergio Galoyan. The first took place in Moscow between 4 and 20 August 2004 with just Lena, producing songs like "Cosmos", "Sacrifice" (one demo featuring Claire Guy) and demos "All My Love" (an English counterpart to "Вся моя любовь"), "I Know", "One Love" and "You". The second recording session took place from 17 January to 18 April 2005 in Los Angeles with "Sacrifice", "Perfect Enemy" and the demo of "We Shout" (titled "Reach Out") also sung by Lena. Yulia was not present during the recording sessions due to her pregnancy.

Other demo versions of the songs are available online, such as "All About Us" (performed by the Veronicas), "Sacrifice" (with both Yulia and Lena), "Perfect Enemy" (recorded by Claire Guy and sometimes referred to as "Wrap It Up"), and "Обезьянка ноль".

The basslines were composed by Galoyan on the Minimoog Voyager.

Although Sting, Dave Stewart, Richard Carpenter, the Veronicas and Claire Guy did work on the album, they did not actually meet the girls for production. Sergio Galoyan became a liaison for the production. However, Richard Carpenter did meet the girls after the recording of the album at their video shoot for the single Friend or Foe. The video was shot on location at Bronson Cave in Hollywood, directed by James Cox, while the executive producer was Grant Cihlar for 1171 Production Group. According to the booklet, the album was recorded at eight different recording studios. The album cover photography and design was made by their own music group, TA Music.

Lyudi Invalidy and Dangerous and Moving effectively have eight tracks in common, either in the form of being the same track or being English/Russian-counterparts:
