gogo

Nightclub platform performer

Gogo is a style of energetic, often scantily clad dancing performed in nightclubs, typically on elevated platforms or in cages.

A gogo dancer entertains crowds rather than individual patrons.

The term comes from the French *à gogo* meaning "in abundance" or "galore," suggesting lively excess.

As an adjective, go-go describes aggressive, high-growth business strategies: go-go stocks, the go-go years of the tech boom.
