go-go
Sixties dancer style
Go-go describes a style of dancing performed at nightclubs, typically by scantily clad dancers on elevated platforms: go-go dancers, go-go boots.
The term evokes 1960s nightclub culture.
Extended to describe aggressive, fast-paced business environments: go-go years on Wall Street, the go-go economy of the 1990s.
Both senses suggest energetic, uninhibited activity.
