Fusion Dance at Alembic: A Guy Made Me Bleed… and I’d Still Dance with Him Again
If you’re looking for fusion dance events in Berkeley, Alembic is one of the most beloved community hubs — and I found it on My Events Bridge, your go-to platform for discovering dance nights across the region.
On July 18, 2025, I attended the Fusion Friday at Alembic — organized by GOEN Dance & Events and hosted by Sayaka CI. The evening opened with a one-hour fusion class taught by Emily Webb, followed by her DJ set, and then a second set by Amber Dawn bringing her signature warm energy to the floor.
The Night I Bled on the Dance Floor (and Still Loved It)
At fusion, you can dance with someone new every song — or stick with a partner who just “clicks.” The night is fluid, playful, and full of surprises.
One of those surprises? A well‑meaning lead got a little too enthusiastic during a spin and — CRACK — elbowed me in the lip. Yep, I tasted blood on the dance floor. He was incredibly apologetic, and honestly… I just smiled, said “don’t worry about it,” and kept dancing.
Why? Because that’s what this scene is about: dynamic, spontaneous, joyful movement.
A Night of Highlights — and New Invitations
- I danced with a salsa teacher from Orinda (yes, I’ve taken his class before — also listed on MEB).
- Another lead told me mid‑dance that I’m “an amazing dancer” — instant mood boost.
- I met a tango dancer who invited me to Tango at Salesforce Park — and yep, it’s on My Events Bridge.
- Favorite moment: a lead I’ve danced with before tried different dips — I felt like I was flying.
