KNOW THE MIAMI MUSIC VIDEO SCENE
Miami’s music videos are high-energy, high-budget, and high-exposure. Latin trap, reggaeton, hip-hop, and EDM dominate. Artists like Bad Bunny, Pitbull, and DJ Khaled shoot here. They need dancers, models, and strippers who can perform on camera.
You’re not just a body. You’re a vibe. Directors want confidence, charisma, and camera presence. If you can’t command attention in a club, you won’t book the video.

BUILD A KILLER PORTFOLIO
No portfolio? No gigs. Start shooting today.
1. HIRE A PHOTOGRAPHER. Find one who shoots dancers or models. Search Instagram for “Miami dancer photographer” or “Miami music video photographer.” DM 10. Ask for rates. Book a shoot this week.
2. SHOOT VIDEO. Photos aren’t enough. Directors want to see movement. Film 30-second clips of you dancing, twerking, or performing. Use your phone if you must. Lighting matters—shoot near a window or outside during golden hour.
3. CREATE A LOOKBOOK. Compile your best photos and videos into a PDF or Google Drive folder. Label it “[Your Name] – Miami Stripper/Dancer Portfolio.” Keep it under 10MB. Update it monthly.
4. MAKE A REEL. Edit your best clips into a 30-60 second reel. Use trending music. Post it on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Tag @miamimusicvideo, @miamidirectors, and local production companies.

GET ON THE RADAR OF CASTING DIRECTORS
Casting directors control who books gigs. You need to be in their inbox.
1. FIND CASTING DIRECTORS. Search Instagram and Facebook for “Miami casting director,” “Miami music video casting,” or “Miami dancer casting.” Follow them. Turn on post notifications.
2. ENGAGE WITH THEIR POSTS. Like, comment, and share their casting calls. Be specific. Instead of “I’m interested,” say, “I’m a Miami stripper with 3 years of experience. Can I submit my reel?” First impressions count.
3. SUBMIT YOUR PORTFOLIO. When they post a casting call, DM them your lookbook and reel immediately. Subject line: “[Your Name] – Submission for [Project Name].” Keep it short. “Hi [Name], here’s my reel and portfolio for [Project]. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!”
4. FOLLOW UP. If they don’t respond in 48 hours, send one follow-up. “Hi [Name], circling back on my submission for [Project]. Let me know if you’d like to schedule a quick call or see more of my work.”

MASTER THE AUDITION
You got the audition. Now kill it.
1. PREPARE YOUR LOOK. Directors want a specific vibe. If the video is sexy and dark, wear black lace. If it’s high-energy, wear bright colors. Bring 2-3 outfit options. Always have heels, fishnets, and a bodysuit ready.
2. KNOW THE SONG. If they give you a song, learn it. Practice your moves until they’re second nature. If they don’t, ask. “What’s the vibe of the video? Can you share the song or a reference?”
3. SHOW UP EARLY. Miami traffic is brutal. Arrive 30 minutes early. Check in. Warm up. Hydrate.
4. BE PROFESSIONAL. No phone. No drama. No complaining. Directors want someone easy to work with. Smile. Make eye contact. Take direction.
5. PERFORM LIKE IT’S YOUR LAST GIG. Give 100% in the audition. If you’re not chosen, ask for feedback. “Thanks for the opportunity! Any notes on how I can improve for next time?”

NEGOTIATE YOUR RATE
Don’t work for free. Don’t work for exposure. Get paid.
1. KNOW YOUR WORTH. Music video rates vary. Background dancers get $150-$300/day. Featured dancers get $500-$1,500/day. Strippers with a strong following can negotiate higher. Research rates in Miami.
2. ASK FOR DETAILS. Before accepting, ask:
– How many hours is the shoot?
– Is there overtime pay?
– Is travel or lodging covered?
– Is there a meal stipend?
– Is there a contract?
3. NEGOTIATE. If the rate is low, counter. “I’m excited about this project! My rate for a featured role is $800/day. Can we make that work?” Be polite but firm.
4. GET IT IN WRITING. Never start a job without a contract. Use HelloSign or DocuSign. Include your rate, hours, and any perks. If they refuse, walk away.
