SHOW Circus Studio was lucky to have had Amanda Goble among the first teachers we hired. I would characterize Amanda's teaching style as deliberate, technically informed, and well thought out. I consider her a model of outstanding circus instruction. Her classes were taught in a completely safe manner and Amanda always followed clear progressions in skill and strength building. Some teachers who stress precision can be dry, or fail to connect with their students, but the feedback we got from Amanda's classes was entirely positive. Her students, both adults and children, learned the skills well, and had a fun time learning circus arts.
- Henry Wheaton (Technical Director, SHOW Circus Studio), MA
Amanda is a clear and detailed instructor with a commitment to both technical precision and soulful performance. As an instructor, Amanda Goble offers a clear, compelling voice that helps students develop precision and efficiency in their aerial movement. As a choreographer and consultant, she brings a genuine enthusiasm for the creative process and the ability to guide artists in composing new work with both inspiration and meaning.
- Teresa Kochis (Aerial Artist & Owner, Overhead Arts), MA
Amanda Goble has been a great asset to NECCA. Her Pilates training and knowledge of physical alignment has been invaluable to our students. As a circus coach she has been excellent working with our youth students and her aerial knowledge has been a great benefit to our adult classes.
- Elsie Smith (Artistic Director, NECCA), VT
Amanda is a dedicated, detailed oriented and engaging teacher. She is extremely knowledgable in what she teaches and clearly transfers that knowledge to all her students. Her experience and professionalism make her a wonderful employee and a great teaching addition to any circus program.
- Chris Oakley (Executive Director, SHOW Circus Studio), MA
Amanda is such an incredibly talented teacher! Her enthusiasm and support, as well as her technical skill, allows everyone in class to accomplish more than they originally think possible, in every class. I am amazed at how much I am learning in such a short period of time, and I look forward to class each week, knowing it is going to be fun and exciting. As a yoga teacher I am definitely impressed by Amanda's knowledge of the body and movement techniques, as well as her ability to make it accessible, appropriate, and safe for various skill levels. Amanda's teaching is informing my work as a yoga teacher, and the work we do in her class is inspiring my yoga practice, which is so satisfying. I highly recommend working with her!
- Abigail Clarke (Yoga Instructor/Aerial student), MA
I trained on the trapeze for two years before I started taking classes with Amanda. She has taken me from a nervous, sloppy-form trapeze dabbler to a nervous, sharper-form trapeze enthusiast. So, as I said, I am still always nervous on trapeze, but Amanda has guided me through skill after skill that I was too afraid to try before I trained with her. Part of what helps me to to trust her is that she's a very grounded person on and off the trapeze, which is exactly the quality I'm looking for in someone who is evaluating my readiness to learn a new skill. Amanda is a true artist AND a born teacher, who brings her precise attention to detail to both disciplines: performing and teaching. I feel very lucky to be able to train with her.
- Jessica Pelkey (Trapeze student), MA
You are an amazing teacher. Lots of patience and silly comments that make swinging from ropes and a bar more fun than it already is! You've taught me a lot of new tricks, flips, swirls, and how to make my body strong, and flexible. You are cautious and make sure I'm safe. You have a presence that demands respect and silliness all in one.
- Erica Fallis, MA (Trapeze student)
Amanda's classes are intelligent, challenging, and most of all, FUN! She makes learning difficult skills accessible and safe.
- Jen Cooke, MA (Trapeze student)
Always supportive and encouraging, Amanda balances a safe approach while pushing the student to go beyond what they imagine is possible. Her gentle nature makes it clear from the start of her class that you are not competing with an ideal, but just with yourself. I took static trapeze and aerial conditioning with Amanda and not only gained more strength and flexibility than I ever thought I would, but laughed the whole while through. It has been a joy to study with Amanda and hope that anyone reading this is lucky enough to take a class with her too!"
- Robbie Newsham (Trapeze/Conditioning student), WA
Amanda is a great teacher. In general I do not like working out, but conditioning class was really fun. I found myself exceeding my goals and discovering new goals. Amanda helped me to safely do pull ups, cartwheels and hand stands, which I had not been able to do since I was young. She is very easy going but will encourage you to do a lot of work. Conditioning class was not easy, but it made me feel healthier than I had in years.
- Talya Goodman (Conditioning student), CT
Thanks for being such a supportive and inspirational teacher/coach. You watched me do my first pull-up ever the other night!
- Robbie Newsham (Trapeze/Conditioning student), WA
Amanda is very committed to her work and results are guaranteed! She is an expert in her field, not "just another Pilates instructor"!
- Ariel Nelson (Pilates student), VT
Amanda is a detail-oriented, highly articulate, creative Pilates instructor who gave me the encouragement and confidence needed to push through difficult physical barriers in order to regain strength and flexibility. I highly recommend her classes - they were imaginative and invigorating.
- Beth White (Pilates/Fitness student), NH
Amanda is an excellent Pilates instructor. I have been going to her for private instruction for the past year. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional in her approach.

- Robin Bitters (Pilates client), VT
I experienced Amanda's work in a single but most impressive private session. I appreciated her attention to detail and her ability to communicate what was needed. I was able to take home usable images and movements to continue working on my core.

- Cathy Martin (Pilates/Fitness student), VT
I began participating in private sessions and a mat class with Amanda having never practiced Pilates. I am so thankful that I chose Amanda as my first instructor as she has proved to be patient and knowledgeable, with a superb ability to communicate with her clients. Amanda is able to explain the intricacies of movement with metaphor and example which greatly assists her clients to understand the practice of Pilates. Amanda is reliable and organized, which her clients with busy lives will appreciate. Upon beginning my work with Amanda, she made inquiry about my goals and has continuously been assisting me to achieve them in a thoughtful and professional manner. I would recommend Amanda, without hesitation, to anyone who is interested in participating in Pilates.
- Karen (Pilates client), VT

Instructor, coach, facilitator - Amanda has the training, experience, and caring personality to help us understand, do, and benefit from the Pilates method.
- Rich Rommer (Pilates client), VT
Amanda has a thorough knowledge of the principles of working from the core and she teaches those principles with clarity and patience, and she creates a soothing, relaxing atmosphere in the studio. I have had a number of Pilates teachers in my 20+ years of dancing, but Amanda is extraordinary! Through her, I have been able to greatly improve the efficiency with which I execute the exercises. As a result, I am strengthening my core muscles without any stress on my spine or neck, which in the past was a constant struggle. Whether you are a novice or an experienced Pilates student, Amanda will guide you to a better, stronger you.
- Joan Sanchez (Dancer/Choreographer/Pilates student), VT
Amanda's attention to detail and her dedication to teaching are second to none. I have taken a class with her and would strongly recommend her to anyone interested in Pilates classes.
- Henry Wheaton (Artistic Director, SHOW Circus Studio), MA

I highly recommend Amanda as a Pilates Instructor and as an employee.
- Hilery Avritt (Owner,Vitality Pilates), WA
Amanda is a superb Pilates instructor. She worked with me as a private instructor for more than a year and a half, providing individual instruction that met my needs as they changed over time.
