Go-Go name:

Jaymes Payne.

How you got your name:

Let’s see, my first name with my Dad's biological last name…

When you started go-go dancing and what got you into it:

About a year ago! Started off doing Bearlesque and some photo shoots. Then met some cool people who introduced me to dancing at different events!

Favorite styles of music and artists to dance to:

I love a good '80s hairband! Kim Petras, Slayyyter, Y2K inspired. It’s all over the place!

Venues & parties you dance at:

I love the Precinct, The Globe and The Copper Door… for Megawoof events, and Club Chub… and Bearlesque!

Favorite thing to wear while dancing:

I live for a theme night! So besides a good costume accessory…I mostly favor a thong and tube socks, and an abundance of straps.

Favorite part of your body:

I feel like it changes from costume to costume… but mostly I favor my arms these days… ass comes in a close second.

Your signature dance move:

I tend to gravitate towards hip and body rolls.

Have you ever hooked up with a club patron?

Let’s see… Yes, but I slept with them before they knew I was dancing.

Have you ever hooked up with another dancer?

Sadly no… I need to drop heavier hits!

Biggest pet peeve when people are tipping you:

I haven’t encountered a situation that has peeved me… I’m just happy people want to tip me!

Biggest pet peeve about working with other go-go boys:

Most dancers are pretty chill and fun… It does damper the mood when any of them come with a salty attitude. Or when they disappear during their time segment to dance.

What advice would you give to a new go-go dancer?

Oh, I’m still new! Obviously, have fun! Don’t drink too much, you start getting sloppy. Stay hydrated.

Favorite thing about being a go-go boy:

Honesty, it’s the feeling of being sexy and free. It’s very liberating, especially for being a big boy.

What do you like to do when you’re not go-go dancing?

I own my salon in Downey. So, being a full-time business owner does take a lot of my time. I do love me some nightlife, and spending time with my baby pug Bishop at home.
