Enjoy socializing and dancing with other singles to the live music of the Sting-Rays. We will be dancing in the beautiful Crystal Room. It has a spacious wooden dance floor, large chandeliers, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the resort's grounds and a cash bar, no food. Admission is $8 for members and $12 for non-members.
Last year our 1st Place winner was dressed as a Dinosaur that walked, roared and even pooped on the floor. The 30-pound costume took months to make. In 2015 our 1st Place winner was Ken Plique. He dressed as a Transformer, see photo. After he knelt down on the floor and pulled everything together he looked like a car.
The St. Charles Singles Club is celebrating its 40th year of providing social and dance activities for singles. It is an Illinois not-for-profit organization. There are no paid staff. It is entirely operated by elected officers and appointed board members who welcome the participation of the many member-volunteers. This keeps participation costs low and the focus on our singles.

Attire for dances is dressy-casual. Most months also feature seasonal events such as spring and summer golf, bike rides, baseball games and concerts in the park. Bowling, bocce ball and dinners add to the things to do.
