Why Performers Love Panel Skirts
Panel skirts are a showgirl essential — dramatic when you spin, playful when you tease, and endlessly customizable.
They’re lightweight, pack easily, and let your audience see the movement of your hips and legs — which is exactly why Red Hot Annie wears them in her floorwork and reveal acts.
