Salsa & Bachata at Moe's Cantina River North, Chicago

Tropical Thursdays at Moe's Cantina River North is part of the Latin Street Dancing family of weekly Chicago Latin nights. Doors open at 8:30 PM, followed by a Bachata lesson at 9 PM and a Salsa lesson at 9:30 PM. Social dancing runs from 10 PM to 2 AM in the main room with Salsa, Bachata and Cumbia; the upstairs CAVA room plays Bachata from 10 PM to 1 AM. Regular cover is 10 USD. Free entry before 9 PM requires texting the published keyword and showing the message at the door.

Moe's Cantina sits at 155 W Kinzie Street in River North, one of Chicago's most central and accessible nightlife districts, close to public transit and downtown. Because Latin Street Dancing is a teaching organization, the night opens with a lesson and welcomes beginners and solo dancers, with no partner needed. The crowd blends Latin Street students with the broader Chicago social scene, making it a lively midweek option for dancers looking to keep moving between weekends.
