Dancer Casting

Liliana dancer posing on stage

We propose Liliana dancers for music videos, stage shows, events and commercials. Our roster includes Japanese, mixed-heritage and international dancers, from solo performers to groups. Dance jobs usually involve rehearsals, so we schedule choreography sessions and rehearsals as well as the performance itself.

Consultations and quotes are free. Office hours: weekdays 10:00–19:00 JST

How Liliana casts dancers

Besides genre and skill, we check whether dancers can attend rehearsals and how they look together as a group.

Genre and group size

We can propose solo dancers or groups. Tell us the genre and the feel you want, and we will put forward a well-matched lineup.

Schedules including rehearsals

If rehearsals need to be scheduled with a choreographer, we coordinate and hold the dancers’ dates for you.

Multinational groups

We can also put together groups of dancers of different nationalities. Ask us when you’re shooting visuals for overseas audiences.

Visa status already checked

We check international dancers’ visa status and work eligibility at registration.

About dancer fees

Dancer fees include rehearsal days as well as the booking for the performance itself.

Performance booking hours

A standard day is 8 hours including breaks. Overtime is charged extra.

Rehearsal days

Terms for choreography and rehearsal days are agreed separately from the performance. The number of days needed depends on how complex the choreography is.

Number of dancers

Solo, or a group of how many. For larger groups, the quote includes dressing rooms and call-time arrangements on the day.

Media

Where the footage is released: TV broadcast, streaming, web, social media and so on. If it’s a stage show with no recorded footage, the approach is different.

Usage period

It also depends on how long the footage is released. We do not accept buyouts without a set period.

Costumes and special requirements

Terms change if costumes need to be arranged or a specific genre or technique is required.

We don’t publish a rate card. Tell us the performance date, rehearsal days, number of dancers and where the footage will be released, and we will send a rough quote with a breakdown. Payment and cancellation terms are in our FAQ.

From request to event day

Candidate proposals

Hold and confirmation

We put a provisional hold on the performance and rehearsal dates and confirm after profile review or an audition. Terms, usage scope and period are agreed at this stage.

For details on each step, see How It Works; for the talent’s terms, see our Performance Guidelines.
