What makes go go dancing different from other types of dance?

flytoohighz: What makes go go dancing different from other types of dance?
When you see a go go dancer on a pedastal dancing, you can immediately distinguish that type of dancing from other types. So, what is it about go go dancing that gives it that “go go” feel? Is it the quick, angular movements? Although, I’m new to dance and don’t have the vocabulary to accurately discuss dance, I’d really like to know what makes go go dancing so unique. Thanks.

Go-Go dancers were originally 1960s-era miniskirted clubgoers, dancing at clubs such as the Whisky a Go Go (one of the first to have dancers in elevated cages), wearing go-go boots. The etymology of Go-Go may be the noun go, one of whose meanings is “power of going, energy, vigor”. Or it may come from the names of the nightclubs, which ultimately come from the French à gogo, meaning “in abundance, galore”.
