New Here? We’ve Got You.
Everything you need to know before finding your favorite way to move.
What is the “HDA” in Amped Fitness & Dance by HDA?
Amped was created by the team behind Hermitage Dance Academy, a Middle Tennessee dance community with 30 years of experience helping people discover confidence, connection, and a love of movement. While HDA focuses primarily on young dancers, Amped was created especially for adults—with fitness, dance, and aerial classes in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.
I'm brand new. Are your classes beginner-friendly?
Absolutely! You don't need to be a dancer, an athlete, or already “in shape” to belong at Amped. Many of our clients are trying something new, returning to movement after time away, or simply looking for a more enjoyable way to stay active. Our instructors will help you modify and find the version that works for you.
Do you offer a trial class?
The best way to try Amped is our 2 Weeks Unlimited for $20 introductory offer. You'll have two full weeks to explore our eligible classes, meet our instructors, and discover your favorite way to move before choosing a membership.
What's the difference between Fitness, Adult Dance, and Aerial?
Fitness includes classes designed to build strength, endurance, mobility, and energy—from Zumba and Barre to Pilates, strength training, and more.
Adult Dance is for adults who want to dance again—or dance for the very first time—with styles including hip-hop, contemporary, tap, musical theatre, and more.
Aerial takes movement off the ground with classes that combine strength, flexibility, confidence, and fun.
Not sure where you belong? Try a little of everything!
Do I need to register before coming to class?
Advance registration isn't required, but it is encouraged! Reserving your spot ahead of time helps us prepare for class and ensures you're notified of any schedule changes or updates. If you decide to join us at the last minute, though, we'd still love to see you—walk-ins are welcome!
Do you offer childcare during classes?
We don't offer traditional childcare during Amped classes, but Hermitage Dance Academy offers children's programming in the same facility. Depending on the day and time, you may be able to find a class for your child while you take yours.
Is there a weight limit for Aerial?
There is no set weight limit for participating in our aerial classes. Our instructors can help you find appropriate options and modifications based on your experience and comfort level.
What should I know before my first Aerial class?
For your first aerial class, wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that covers the backs of your knees and avoid clothing with sharp zippers or hardware. Please remove jewelry, skip lotions immediately before class, and avoid eating a large meal right before participating.
Most importantly, come ready to learn! You don't need previous aerial experience for our beginner-friendly offerings.
