How do you take the Blue Line to the Friday Halloween Latin Social in Chicago?
Riding the CTA Blue Line to the Friday Halloween Latin Social is simple and fast. Hop on the train heading toward O'Hare or Forest Park depending on your starting location. You will want to get off at the Irving Park station. From there, Dennis PaSamba Dance Company is just a quick bus ride or short walk away at 4820 W. Irving Park Rd. inside the Six Corners neighborhood of Irving Park.
Once you exit the Irving Park Blue Line station, you can hop on the #80 Irving Park bus going west. The bus drops you off very close to our front doors. If you prefer to walk, heading west down Irving Park Road takes about ten to fifteen minutes. You will find our studio right in the heart of Six Corners, where free parking is also available if you end up driving.
Traveling in costume on the Blue Line for Halloween is common and fun in Chicago. Many dancers ride the train fully dressed up for our Friday Halloween Latin Social. Make sure your outfit allows you to walk safely up station stairs and sit comfortably on the train. Bring your dance shoes in a bag so they do not get dirty on the CTA platforms before you hit the dance floor.
Before the social dance starts, we often host group classes for dancers of all levels. Our group classes cost $95 for 4 weeks. You do not need a partner to join in on the fun because partners rotate throughout the entire class. This setup makes it easy to meet fellow commuters and dance enthusiasts right after getting off the Blue Line train on a Friday night.
Plan your Blue Line trip so you arrive early before the Friday Halloween Latin Social begins. CTA trains usually run regularly on Friday evenings, but checking the transit app helps avoid unexpected delays. Arriving early gives you time to change into your dance shoes, check your coat, and warm up. Our studio at 4820 W. Irving Park Rd. welcomes everyone ready to celebrate Halloween with great Latin music.
The Blue Line operates twenty-four hours a day, which makes returning home after the Friday Halloween Latin Social super convenient. Once the party ends, you can take the #80 bus back to the Irving Park CTA station or walk east. From there, trains run regularly back toward downtown Chicago or north toward O'Hare. It is a reliable transit option for your late-night commute after dancing.
If you have questions about transit directions or night events, reach out to us easily. You can call or text 717-PaSamba (717-727-2622) for details about our studio schedule. We are always happy to help dancers find their way from the train to our floor. Dennis PaSamba Dance Company looks forward to seeing your Halloween costume this Friday in Irving Park.
