Amanda Lee | Founder & Head Coach
Amanda’s handstand journey began at age four in Artistic Gymnastics, where she competed nationally and discovered a lifelong love for strength, skill, and creative movement. Her passion evolved through Contemporary Dance and ultimately into Contemporary Circus — a discipline that fuses athleticism with artistry.
In 2017, Amanda earned a Bachelor of Circus Arts from Melbourne’s National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA), specialising in Hand Balancing. At NICA she trained handstands full-time for 3 years under elite Russian technique, developing the precision, strength, and control that now define her coaching. Recognising that one approach doesn’t always fit all, she complemented her elite training by learning from top handstand coaches worldwide, blending diverse methods into a versatile, personalised coaching style.
Amanda has performed as a professional acrobat internationally with acclaimed companies such as C!RCA Contemporary Circus and Gravity & Other Myths, and now directs the multi-award-winning Sound of Circus Australia. Amanda’s world-class handstand expertise eventually led her to the elite role of Handstand Coach for NICA’s Bachelor program. A qualified Pilates instructor, she integrates strength and mobility conditioning into every session, ensuring safe, sustainable progress for her students.
Passionate about making high-level handstand training more accessible worldwide, Amanda founded Amble Coaching, where her empathetic, detail-oriented approach empowers students to embrace mistakes, celebrate wobbles, and progress confidently toward mastery.
