by Foot, From MIT:

Go up Mass Ave into Boston. Boston Dancewear is at 181 Mass Ave, right side of the street with MIT behind you. It's about 2 blocks past Berkeley. If you walk up to the strip mall with the Economy Hardware, you've gone too far. (Note - as of spring 2002 there was scaffolding over the sidewalk beginning just beyond their door) There will be a door, but not much else in the way of markings. Go in the door and up the staircase to the second floor. The door is on your right, halfway up the staircase.

You could take the bus #1 up Mass. Ave. into Boston. Parking is difficult to find.
