What we’re about
St. Charles Singles Club was formed in 1977 for singles over 40 who like to dance, take dance lessons, meet for breakfast or dinner at different restaurants, go to live plays, play cards - pinochle and other card games, board games, go on picnics, pool tables, and socialize with other singles. At one time the club consisted of over700 members.
After 12 years at Villa Olivia in Bartlett, IL we moved - NEW PLACE, NEW DAY and NEW TIME. Our dances are held at the American Legion Post 76, 570 S. Gary Avenue, Carol Stream, IL. OUR FIRST DANCE IN CAROL STEAM WAS JULY 13, 2023. Dance are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of every month. $4 dance lessons are 5:30 to 6:30 PM - NO PARTNER NEEDED as you dance with everyone taking the lesson including the instructors. DJ Fast Freddy music from 6:30 to 10:00 PM. Members $7.00 and non-members $12. Dressy casual. Bar available, coffee and pop $1. You can bring food to share. NO POPCORN ALLOWED.
No sign up required for breakfasts or dances. Sign ups required on some activities to reserve your spot. You do not have to be a member to join us for breakfast or some activities.
When a 5th Thursday occurs, we hire various local LIVE BANDS. Members $10.00, and non-members $15.00. Become a member and save $ on the dances and some activities.
When Covid hit, everything stopped. We are once again regaining members. As of September 2023 our membership was 257 plus over 600 from Meetup.com. In the past, our attendance at our regular dances was over 100 and attendance at our live band dances is between 150 and 200. Our activities have been: breakfasts, Road Rally, foreign flavor dinners, dance lessons, candlelight bowl, Bocco ball, picnic, card and game night activities at Pottawatomie Park, fish boil and a Christmas Dinner Dance, historic house walks, free concerts in Carol Stream park, plays at the Paramount, the Palms and Steel Beam Theatres, we had theme dances like the Super Bowl Shuffle, went to a Cougar Baseball Game, played Mini Golf, saw a Puppet Show and a Car Show. We went to the Arlington Race Track “Chicago Blackhawks Day”, a Hot Air Balloon fair, Winter Snow Sculpting Competition in Wisconsin and an Air show. We (52 of us) did a Mob Flash Dance at Spring Hill Mall in West Dundee and we learned to dance like a mummy to Michael Jackson’s – Thriller.
