The Girl in the Cruise Video

The girl in the “Cruise” video is named Niki Trosky. She was born and raised in Lakeville, Minnesota, and she’s been a dancer for most of her life. Niki actually auditioned for the video through a casting call that was posted online.

The Casting Process

According to an interview with Niki, she found out about the casting call through a friend and decided to go for it. She submitted a video of herself dancing to Florida Georgia Line’s song “Get Your Shine On,” and soon after, she got a call asking her to come to Nashville for an audition.

At the audition, Niki had to learn a few dance moves and perform them in front of several people, including Florida Georgia Line members Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley. After her audition, Niki was told that she had landed the part.

The Shoot

The shoot for the “Cruise” video took place over two days on location at Percy Priest Lake in Nashville. The weather during filming wasn’t ideal – it was cold and rainy – but everyone involved powered through it.

During filming, Niki got to work closely with Tyler and Brian. She said that they were both very down-to-earth and easy to work with.

What Happened Afterwards?

After appearing in the “Cruise” video, Niki continued dancing professionally for several years. She even went on tour with Florida Georgia Line as a backup dancer.

These days, Niki has taken a bit of a break from dancing and is pursuing other interests. However, she’s still proud of her involvement in the “Cruise” video and considers it to be one of the highlights of her career.
