Welcome to Asheville Clogging & Dance Company!
                        About Asheville Clogging & Dance Company:

Asheville Clogging Company was founded in August 2003 by National Champion Clogger and Junior Olympic Medalist, Ashley Shimberg. Since then, the Asheville Clogging Company has grown to over 60 members age 3 to adult.

               Asheville Clogging Company has been so much fun and such a success that we have expanded into Asheville Clogging & Dance Company. We not only offer the best Clogging instruction and opportunities in WNC but we now offer quality, family-oriented dance instruction in the areas of: Irish Step Dancing, Hip-Hop, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, and Ballet as well!

What makes Asheville Clogging & Dance Company different from other dance studios?

  •  Asheville Clogging & Dance Company is not your typical dance studio. We have DOZENS of performances throughout the year all across Western North Carolina. All our dancers are invited to perform at our events, wear their pretty costumes and shine under the spotlight! At ACDC, every dancer gets to be a STAR!
  • At ACDC, every single class is taught by owner/director, Ashley Shimberg. You do not have to worry about one of the older students or an unqualified teacher teaching you or your child's class. Miss Shimberg has 20 years dance experience, over 300 awards and honors, and has directed the National Champion Asheville Clogging Company for the past 7 years. You can be confident that no matter what class you enroll your child in they will be getting the best dance education and experience possible.
  • Lower prices. The average dance studio has a $30 registration fee and a $50 recital fee. At ACDC, there is NO recital fee, and our registration fee is only $20. The average dance studio costume is $85 and is only worn on stage one time for 3 minutes. At ACDC the average costume is $55 and is worn multiple times throughout the year, as all our students have the opportunity to attend additional performances. The average one-hour dance studio class is $52 per month. At ACDC it is $43 per month. Not to mention we offer discounts for referring new students, family discounts, and discounts for enrolling in multiple classes. More opportunities and higher quality instruction at a lower price.
          We are proud to be home of WNC's largest multi-award winning Grand Champion Clogging Team! Many of our cloggers are just starting out, and many of our cloggers are very advanced and have won prestigious awards. The Asheville Clogging Company holds eight 1st place team titles from the North Carolina Mountain State Fair as well as awards from other clogging competitions throughout the south. We have even had some of our cloggers win awards at the World Clogging Championships held at the Stompin’ Ground in Maggie Valley, NC.  Six members of the Asheville Clogging Company have been named to the North Carolina All Star Team. The Asheville Clogging Company has also qualified to compete in the prestigious America’s Clogging Hall of Fame Dance Off’s for the past three years.
