Asheville’s own, professional dance company, Sole Impact, under the direction of Heidi Kulas and Cheryl Renfro is available for workshops and shows. Please visit our videos page to see snippets of a few of our performances.
Sole Impact’s unique style features both traditional and precision clogging, along with percussive dances from around the world. They are well known for their very fast feet and inventive choreography.
Audiences have been awed by the versatility of the performers as they showcase many traditional dance styles. They include clogging in both the traditional freestyle and contemporary precision styles, step dances from Ireland, England, Cape Breton, and Canada- both French Canadian and Ottawa Valley styles, South African Gumboot, steppin’, body percussion, smooth dance, Kentucky running set, and hoedown to name just a few.
The cast members have performed across the country with highlights including the Kennedy Center, Kentucky Derby, and recent stop in Nashville to record the “Streak o’lean” music video with the g’earls from Uncle Earl. The dancers have toured internationally to British Columbia, Costa Rica, Finland, Ireland, Spain, and a host of other countries.
In addition to touring this cast holds a variety of titles including national all-American, grand champion, and national/world recognition in both clogging and Irish genres. They have been guest artists on numerous CD recordings and made several TV appearances on PBS, TNN, and BBC.

Sole Impact is available for both shows and workshops. We offer shows that are family friendly and are appropriate for all ages. We also incorporate audience participation if desired. You can decide whether to sit back and enjoy our toe tapping show, or join in the fun and get your feet tapping along with us out on the dance floor! Our shows can be themed (holiday, country, multicultural, traditional, or contemporary) and tailored to suit your venue. It is the perfect party entertainment for your family, or business engagement. Shows can range from one to eight dancers and can include live music. We also offer workshops for all levels of dancers including the non-dancers through advanced dancers.
