Aerial Arts Studio Performer Photo & Video Release Form

Running an aerial arts studio means capturing stunning moments—silks, lyra, trapeze, pole, and more. Whether you're showcasing student progress, promoting classes, or building your brand on social media, you need proper consent before sharing performer images and videos.

This Aerial Arts Studio Performer Photo & Video Release Form is designed specifically for circus arts, acrobatics, and aerial fitness studios. It helps you obtain clear, documented consent from performers (or their guardians) before using their likeness in marketing materials, social media posts, website galleries, promotional videos, and performance documentation.

Why aerial studios need a media release form

Unlike traditional fitness or dance studios, aerial arts involves dynamic, visually striking content that's perfect for social media—but also requires careful consideration of performer rights and safety. This template addresses the unique needs of the aerial community:

• Clear usage rights for photos and videos across all marketing channels
• Social media specificity covering Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging platforms
• Performance vs. class content distinction for different types of footage
• Minor consent handling with separate guardian authorization
• Duration and territory specifications for how long and where content can be used
• Revocation options that respect performer autonomy while protecting your existing content

Built for the aerial arts community

This form understands the circus arts world. It covers scenarios specific to aerial studios: showcasing apparatus work, before-and-after progress content, performance highlights, workshop documentation, instructor training materials, and fitness inspiration posts. The language respects the performer-studio relationship while establishing professional boundaries.

You can customize the form to match your studio's brand voice—whether you're a professional circus training facility, a fitness-focused aerial gym, or a community-centered creative space. The conditional logic adapts based on whether the performer is a minor, ensuring you collect the right guardian information when needed.
