Soper was jailed for 15 months at Sheffield Crown Court.
Judge Roger Thomas QC said Soper was out of control and reckless on the dancefloor at Jacques Bar in Doncaster.
He said: “In any event it must be the case that your heel came into contact with her face. You effectively ripped open the length of her nose.”
Carer Soper was caught on CCTV wearing a white dress and bumping into a beautician on the dancefloor.
Horrified onlookers watched as a man tried to hold them apart before Soper launched a fist over his shoulder.
She then kicked out as her victim lay on the floor during the fight in January 2020.
Judge Thomas told Soper: “From what I can see you were effectively by yourself.
“The CCTV footage I have watched shows you on the dancefloor of that bar dancing in an extravagant, out of control, sort of way occupying a lot of the dancefloor and in a reckless sort of way.
“At some point, a minute before you did what you did, you had in some way bumped into the complainant.
“Perhaps that was an accidental coming together. She had her back to you, you bumped her away or pushed her away.
“Nothing immediately happened at that stage.
“The complainant came back across the dancefloor. She clearly said something to you and approached you, perhaps you said something to her as well.
“There was obviously some unpleasantness between the two of you.
“The man who was there with her stood between the two of you and that should have been the end of it.
“Over his shoulder, you and her exchanged words. You were obviously riled up and in an aggressive mood and stance.
“What you did over that man’s shoulder was you punched the complainant in the face.”
Dale Harris, defending, told the court Soper was “disgusted” by what he had done and cannot believe it when she watches the CCTV back.
Soper, of St Catherine’s Avenue, Doncaster, admitted unlawful wounding and was jailed for 15 months.
