CASTEL

Our Go-Go Boy Spotlight goes to a tiny dancer from Guam with a pretty face, a small waist, and a passion for food and fashion, Bryant Santos! You might've caught on the historic first season of OutTV's Go-Go For The Gold, where his talents landed him in the top four and the moniker of their first-ever Miss Congeniality. These days, Bryant go-go dances full-time at The Abbey in WeHo while balancing a freelance social media career, weekly dance training, and the hustle and bustle of life in Los Angeles. Check out our chat below!

Hometown: Dededo, Guam.

Current City: Los Angeles.

Birthday and age: May 11 & 26

Single or taken: Single and looking for a pro-athlete boyfriend.

How you got your name: It's my government name. lol

When you started go-go dancing and what got you into it: In June 2021, I was in between jobs as a failed real estate agent (I wanted to be on Selling Sunset, ok! lol) and a retail slave. I wanted my next job to be fun, and where I could explore my passion for dance, so I got a spot at The Abbey and have been there ever since.

Favorite styles of music and artists to dance to Obsessed with pop/top 40, r&b, and hip-hop, and while Ariana Grande is my one true queen, I also love to perform to Rihanna, Britney, Selena Gomez, and all the pop divas!

Venues & parties you dance at: The Abbey.

Favorite thing to wear while dancing: You'll NEVER catch me out of heels, and I almost always have on a sexy skirt and a cute little top.

Favorite part of your body: My abs and legs.

Your signature dance move: A high kick, a Grand Battement for my dancers!

Have you ever hooked up with a club patron? Who hasn't?

Have you ever hooked up with another dancer? That's a line I've yet to cross, but with all these hot shirtless men around, the temptation is definitely there.

Biggest pet peeve when people are tipping you: Stopping my show! If I'm swinging around the bars and poles doing a theatrical performance of "Break Free" by Ariana Grande and you stop me for a dollar (though I'm never gonna say no to a dollar), I'm gonna be a little upset, haha. Wait until I finish going full-out and catch my breath to approach. Now, if you're making it rain 20s, 50s, and 100s, that's a different story.

Biggest pet peeve about working with other go-go boys: A two-stepper! To be a go-go boy, you by no means need to be a trained, professional dancer but don't stand there rocking left and right with a bored look on your face!

What advice would you give to a new go-go dancer? Just be you! While that may seem so cliche, it's honestly the truth. When I tapped into my sexuality and femininity through heels and being more femme-presenting, my success as a go-go dancer came because that's who I authentically am. People love to see (and tip) the authentic 100% you!

Favorite thing about being a go-go boy: I tell everyone: I get paid to party, dance, and get told I'm pretty, plus I make great money; what's not to love!

What do you like to do when you're not go-go dancing? I take dance classes to brush up on my jazz and heels techniques. I also love to shop. I live at Sephora, hehe, and I also love to model! Follow my IG to see me work the camera!

What do you love about LA? I love that LA is the hub for dance and entertainment because I've met so many incredible people in the industry by go-go dancing at The Abbey.

Hobbies: Dance, shopping, modeling/creating content, listening to and worshipping Ariana Grande.

Your hidden talent: I always say dance is my first love, and fashion is my second. I used to be a personal stylist and love putting looks together for myself, friends, and family. So I guess you could say fashion and style are my hidden talents.

Last TV show you binge-watched: Dahmer; and yes, I know it's low-key problematic, but I'm also rebinging Schitt's Creek for the second time!

Top 3 favorite movies: To All The Boys I've Loved Before, Mean Girls, and The Notebook.

Perfect romantic date: Any time he pays for it! Lol kidding! But I love food, so I love when a guy takes me out to a nice restaurant with good food and lets me get to know him through good conversation.

Favorite sex position: This may sound so vanilla, but I love missionary 🤣. I'm very into intimacy, touch, and lots of kissing, and I'm also quite submissive, so I love when a bigger guy is on top and taking control.

Celebrity crush: Chris Hemsworth, Jimmy Garoppolo, Carl Nassib, Michele Morrone, Michael B. Jordan, Maluma, Roman Reigns; I have a lot, lol, and I'm gay, but I also have a girl crush on Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez, Megan Fox, and Blake Lively.
