How do you take the Irving Park bus to Friday dance socials?
The CTA #80 bus runs east and west directly along Irving Park Road all day and night. If you are coming from the east side or west side of Chicago, this bus route brings you right into the heart of the Irving Park neighborhood. Our studio sits at 4820 W. Irving Park Rd. near the busy Six Corners area. Riding the bus allows you to avoid Friday evening traffic and arrive relaxed for the social.
If you take the CTA Blue Line train to the Irving Park station, transferring to the eastbound #80 bus is very quick. Step off the train and head to the street level bus stop on Irving Park Road. Board the eastbound bus and ride it just a short distance toward Six Corners. You will get off near our front doors, making transit seamless after a long work week.
For dancers traveling from the Brown Line, you can connect to the #80 bus at the Irving Park Brown Line station. Hop on the westbound bus right outside the station doors. The bus travels straight west toward 4820 W. Irving Park Rd. You will ride past local shops before getting off close to our building. Public transit keeps your travel simple so you can save your energy for dancing.
Friday socials are a wonderful way to practice your moves, meet friendly people, and enjoy great music. Since Friday traffic in Chicago can be heavy, taking the Irving Park bus removes the stress of driving. You do not have to worry about finding street spots, even though we offer free parking behind the studio. Simply step off the bus, walk inside, and get ready to hit the floor.
When your night of dancing ends, catching the bus home is just as easy. The eastbound and westbound #80 bus stops are located right near our entrance. CTA buses run regularly throughout the late evening on Fridays. You can check real-time CTA bus tracker apps on your phone while cooling down inside the studio. That way you only walk outside when your bus is approaching.
We welcome all dancers to our Friday socials regardless of your experience level. Whether you take salsa, bachata, or other partner dance styles, our floor is open and welcoming. Taking public transit makes joining our community hassle-free for everyone across the city. Be sure to double-check the late-night CTA schedule before heading out so you can plan your return trip smoothly.
Planning your trip using public transportation helps you stay punctual for the start of the social. Dennis PaSamba Dance Company loves serving the Irving Park and Six Corners community with accessible events.
